Just a quick followup. This posted just fine. Any idea why I'm not able to post in Design Tips?
Thanks again!
Ted
Great feel - very nice use of the theme. Really like the black and white historical images. Great job!
I would just suggest learn as much CSS as you can. That will give you a lot of control over the look of your site. Then maybe pickup some PHP skills. You can do wonders with this!
I took an online class in CSS but it was years ago and I can't remember where it was. I think it might've been through the HTML Writer's Guild, hwg.org.
Here's one I know of: http://www.w3schools.com/css/
Also maybe check out lynda.com. http://www.lynda.com/search?q=CSS
Hope this helps.
Hi Tonje,
Yeah, it is a little on the dark side. It doesn't really bother me, but I can see how some could think it's too dark. I would just start by adjusting the color in the css... It would be a simple fix. IMHO 🙂
.menu-primary li a,
.menu-secondary li a,
#header .menu li a {
color: #777;
display: block;
font-size: 14px;
padding: 6px 15px 4px;
position: relative;
text-decoration: none;
}Hey Jamie,
Just saw this post from Carrie Dils that will show you how to add the code for the homepage slider.
Hey Jamie,
Just wanted to reach out, maybe you can let me know here in the forum when you email me. I do a fair amount of bulk deleting of emails and I wouldn't want your message to get lost in the shuffle.
Hey Jamie, sorry for the delay!
Yeah, here are a few sites I've done with Minimum using Genesis Responsive Slider on the home page:
http://tavphoto.com (my photography biz site)
http://imageperceptions.com (my web biz site)
http://goodkarmapretzels.com (client's site)
http://imageperceptions.com/rwc/ (client's site, still in the works)
http://imageperceptions.com/devious/ (client's site, still in the works)
email me at [email protected] and I'll email you the converted Minimum theme I used for these sites. Then you can study the PHP pages and css, and see the work I did (remember, I'm really not a PHP guy at all - just hunting and pecking until I come up with something I like. I bet there's a cleaner way to code these changes.)
There's probably a simpler way, but I did it by creating a widgeted area for that space on the home page in the php code. My PHP chops are pretty weak. There's most likely someone here who could give you a good show you the best way to code that.
Anyway, then you can put whatever I want to in that space. Makes it easier for clients to make changes to that area. Even if they want to use a static image they can add it with a text widget rather than having to edit the PHP code.
For a slideshow I use Genesis Responsive Slider in that widgeted area.
