EduBlogs and Themes

James recently posted a couple of bits of theme-related news. One is that he has removed the grey bar from the top of this and each of the other 3000+ edublogs. Thanks for that!
The other is that he’s made the Fauna theme available. In fact, I&…

Hi,
I’m wondering about adding features with this new fauna theme. I was trying to use the link features to add a bloglines button as suggested in an earlier post by James, however this didn’t work. Is it possible to add features like a calendar or bloglines button or flikr badge to any of the themes? I really like these features and it would be great to use them on my edublog site. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Brent

don’t put any text between left and right carets (uppercase comma and period) if you want it visible.

Well, sorry, I didn’t read the catgeory bit in the previous post.

Also, I did type in the “more” between “It seems to support” and “tag” in my entry above but I think the software read the symbols as something else.

The new theme has some great advantages, besides color tweaks. It puts the pages supercategories at the top, instead of listing each sub-category page.

It seems to support tag, that is some posts are truncated, but others are not. The full post is available by clicking on the title but there isn’t yet a “more” on the original first page to let the reader know. Some posts are title only (such as Intro) but I haven’t quite figured it out)

Categories only show up on the webpages showing the individual entry.

But hiccups get cured.

RE: the grey bar tiopside. The older themes still support this, or did. I suggest a nice little button that could be added to the sidebar in the links block.

Careful of the window, that’s pretty high up!

I *think* in theme options you can select to bring back the categories? Let me know.
