A big thank you to everyone who entered!
Capsule, The Developer’s Code Journal
I’m very pleased today to announce the release of Capsule, the developer’s code journal. Capsule replaces the scratch document you have…
These are all great designs. My congratulations to all “competitors”, they really did a great job, now we can all choose some great templates for our wordpress blog thanks to their work.
Now, if I could vote, I would vote for the following styles:
- darkfire
- newspaper
- perun
- subway
- wp-newspaper
In no particular order. Although these picks were tough to choose.
Greetings,
I was hoping to enter, but I first found out about the competition on Wednesday and the deadline was Friday. It would have been really convenient for me if the competition deadline would have been Sunday. That would have given me the weekend to work on a stylesheet, but such is life. I think there were quite a few good entries, so I’d consider this competition a success. Good luck everyone.
I’ve tried using some of the designs I liked but the content goes all over the page, they don’t fit nicely like in the “sample pages” on this site. Maybe I’m doing something wrong, could anyone tell me what that would be? Thanks in advance. Good Luck everyone!!!
Frank,
Do the styles nebulous and buddha have the content moving problem you’re referring to? When you resize the browser window to make it narrower, the menu and the entry section can overlap. That’s because of the way the menu and content div are defined in the style sheet.
I noticed this issue because I use a laptop and have multiple browser windows open, so I often have to reduce the size of the windows. If you’re on a normal size computer screen, with normal size windows, you probably wouldn’t notice it.
Frank,
What browser are you using? I’m using Mozilla 1.6 and I noticed that some of the styles look aweful. They were probably designed with IE in mind.
I hope they get scored accordingly.
Hi Todd,
I solved the problem. I didn’t realize that I also had the “wp-layout.css” in the index file. So, I got rid of it and the new template works great, by just using the “style.css” file.
Now I have another problem. I can’t get to show the “ak_new.gif” image on the new comments; it does work on the new posts, but I will address this issue on its respective post.
Thanks a lot Todd for your help.
Kind regards,
Oh well, I can’t find a post regarding the “since last visit” hack. So, I might as well write about it here, although I don’t like writing on something where is not supposed to.
The thing is that I don’t really understand how to place the “ak_new.gif” image on the new comments. I don’t really understand the “readme” file that comes with this hack.
It works great on the new posts, the problem I’m facing is on the new comments, how can the image be shown on the new comments? what line do I need to write and where do I have to place it?
Thanks a lot in advance for any help I can be given.
Greetings,
I finnally got it!!!
I read the readme text file and finnally understood how this hack works. It works good I guess. At least it places the image on the new posts and the new comments. I guess that is it.
Thanks a lot guys, and good luck to the contestans for those beautiful templates you’ve made available to all. Really appreciate it. As soon as I finnish editing the new template I’ll place it as my index.php file. I won’t change much since I don’t know much about CSS, but there’s no need to, they’re pretty as they are.
Kind regards,
Amazing how much can be learned by reading the instructions.
That’s right Alex, but I just couldn’t understand it until I read it for the fourth or fifth time. English is not my mother language and there were a couple of things I just couldn’t understand, but in the end “I have prevailed”
LOL
I almost worked out a sweat :-s LOL
Greetings,
I wish more people had included screenshots so I could see these things in action…
Click on the name of the Style and you’ll see it in action.
Yeah, Alex did a great job with his stylesheet switcher letting everyone see what’s out there.
Thanks, all, for putting some good stuff out there. I had a fun time voting.

Hi,
I am using the human_condition style and i have noticed a possible bug. Even in the sample page in your website, when one selects that style, the browser horizontal scroll bar will show some unseen space to the right, but there will be nothing there, just the right side of the page has ended. And then when one clicks on ‘comments’, the browser will jump to the right to center the scrollbar and the page itself will not be centered.
Did i explain this understandably? I am using Safari 1.2(v125).
Congratulations to the winners!
Hmm, there is something funny going on there in Safari 1.2 – but only if your browser is narrower than ~800 px wide. I don’t think it was doing that in Safari 1.1.1.
Even when the browser is sized to the full screen width (1024) the style does that… it looks a little better because after clicking on ‘comments’ all the content is still viewable, altough uncentered. And in the index page, one sees the central content and menu bars, centered, but there is a vertical dark blue line out to the right, on the background, looking like the right border of the menu bar.
Think i never tried it under 1.1.1.
