A couple of days off and the result is a new dasBlog-theme.
As starting point I took the theme Elegante, changed the colors in the CSS and started changing the templates to my wishes.
Not completely satisfied with the result because I wanted to display the navigation element as a horizontal bar. That's not something you can modify with some CSS because the navigation items are captured by a table.
So into the source of dasBlog and created a plugin to display the navigation items as a list. With some CSS-magic this is changed into a horizontal navigationbar.
Microsoft and Firefox developers settled on a default logo for RSS- and ATOM-feeds, so this fresh orange semi-wifi looking image is now used for the feeds.
Del.icio.us my on-line social bookmark manager also found a spot in the new design. For those of you not familiar with this del.icio.us go and get yourself an account an start playing with it. It's free and it works like a charm.
Finally the new logo, the chinese character means good. This is a link to the name of the domain and a link to the three times we travelled in China. In the Netherlands "goud" means gold. But in the regional dialect used in the provence of Groningen it means good. The subtitle "in Grunn" is a reference to the regional name of the provence and city where I live. So translated it comes down to "It's good, in Groningen".
I'm satisfied with new design I hope you like it to.
