Slidebox - New Template

[chakramike]

Hi all,

Here's my first contribution to the pixelpost community:
Slidebox

It's a clean light template with javascript accordians for different sections. Let me know what you think & if you find any bugs etc.

Hello, your photoblog looks gret! I'm quite new and i think you can help. I got the simple template but the pictures are far too big i think. I'd like each of the picture to have your size... any idea about what i could do?

I also don't know how to change the about blurb...how could i update my profile and write some thing about my work or myself?

thank you very much

Hi Nicky,
To change the size of your images that are shown on your blog you need to edit them to your preferred size before you upload them - in the Slidebox template they should be no wider than 640px.

To change the text on the "About" page you need to open the 'about_template.html' file in the template folder with an editor such as dreamweaver, bbedit (or even textedit) and change the sample text to what ever you would like it to say- it's the same principle as was done on your "about me" page.

Take a look at addon section of our forum (or at our main site at extend section) and search for autoresize addon

Hello, thanks for the answers. I've manages to do it. In fact i didn't updated the images folder that's why my image couldn't appear.
Now i got another question, i'd like to put on the side of the home page, some thumbnails with the titles of each categorie i got. Like that people can click on the categorie they'd like to see in a easier way.... any idea?

thanks

Just upgraded this to v1.1 to correct a bug where images and the css file weren't loading if the pp installation was in a subdirectory and not the root of the site!

Also added a demo:

You should set the properties of the image to visibility:hidden; so that it does show quickly while loading before fading in.
