ongoing personal web projects

Thursday, March 31st, 2005

I’ve been neglecting hypothecate recently because i’m forging ahead with the magazine idea. I’ve recruited Iain Claridge (netsight designer/ photographer) to do some design, and i’ve stripped back a basic plone install ready to skin. I’ve done this by seperating all the CSS used by plone for admin (i.e. all the tabs/menus used when editing) into a file called ploneAdmin.css and then the site styling will go in a seperate file. Other than that i’m trying to leave the plone HTML as standard as possible, although inevitably i’ve moved/removed a few things.

We are still short of a name (suggestions welcome!), and we haven’t got any content yet either - I want to have the site up as a "pilot issue" even if it has dummy content, to help recruit contributors.

Also, I emailed Andy Budd recently to ask advice about setting up a Bristol version of skillswap. I got a reply saying that he has had similar enquiries from people in other areas and had been thinking about setting up a central site/ database. I’ve offered some of my non-existent free time to help with this :-)
