Word­Press Author CMS and Blog Sem­i­nar Call 2

Tonight’s call will deal mainly with CSS or Style issues. Style has to do with lay­out, col­ors, graph­ics, typog­ra­phy, in short with the way we present our site and it’s con­tent. But before we enter the big chap­ter of the style we will coor­di­nate the con­fig­u­ra­tion of the new Semi­oman­tics XO Framework.

Con­fig­ure your Word­Press based Semi­oman­tics XO

To start with we will review the Semi­oman­tics XO con­fig­u­ra­tion. Some basic deci­sions about the lay­out need to be made: How many side­bars do we need? How wide should the side­bars be?  Where should we place side­bars? How wide should our site be, 800 pix­els or rather 1024 pix­els? How about the header? Should we use graph­ics or text?

We will run with you through all the details and explain the pros and cons.

Tweak, Hack and Mod­ify your Style sheet

Yeah, that’s where the fun starts! We will guide you! Change the col­ors, embed your own graph­ics, select your pre­ferred fonts and much more.

Build images with GIMP

Another exer­cise with GIMP will solid­ify what we have learned yes­ter­day. Tonight we will take GIMP a step fur­ther to test some fil­ters allow­ing to change the look and feel of an image. Again, a lot of fun!

Join at 8 pm at yor­GOtalk.
