Hello Folks,
I have just for the first time spent some time solving some theming problems for my very own site.
Without any past Html experience I started developing websites about this time last year and learned of this great place to learn web
development called Drupal.
After a year of building other folks their websites now I using Drupal solve my needs. After much contemplation I have picked the foliage as I am impressed with the professional look and how this fixed width theme adjusts itself for gallery2. I have not re-sized my photos yet but you can see how nicely the theme expands for images more than 400 ppi in size as most of my horizontal images on the site are 640 ppi wide. I will reduce the images eventually but this gives a good example of a clean theme that can be used for a photography site that requires a gallery module that can manage thousands of pictures as I can shoot as much 2000 exposures per day during a serious shoot.
I have the old gallery link still up in the primary location and you can view the new integration of gallery 2.1. Blackjack on the navigation menu.
There will be more work done on the theme over the week so any feed back is welcomed.
for those looking for great program that helps brake down the CSS -try http://macrabbit.com/cssedit -if your on a Mac - I use this along with Go Live and works well as you can extract entire CSS sheets from any given URL!
In building this site, Drupal provided most of the building blocks, as you folks can probably tell. Most of our effort went into theming. There are only 2 custom modules, one containing some general usability fixups, and the other providing the online schedule.
I just launched www.wikidgaming.com. I'm beginning to wonder if I thought this through well enough.
The site itself is laid out clean and it seems (to me) that is should be easy enough to use. However, I'm wondering what people think of the overall concept of the site...
It's a gaming site with a wiki style cheats section, user posted gaming news, and forums.
Let me know what you think of the concept. If you think I could change something to make the site more useful, please let me know.
