New template : dolichocephale

[dolichocephale]

Hi,
I just made a photo site with Pixelpost, and I created my own template that you can download here :
english version
french version

You can see it on my site http://www.dolichocephale.net/photoblog/

It seems to be XHTML Transitional and CSS valid, but this is the first time i make a website writing hmtl and css code (i just looked at others templates and copy their code ), so nothing's guaranteed.

It's a very simple template, without EXIF or notes.

Photos must be 500px wide or less, but i think it's easy to modify the CSS code to use wider pictures. Thumbnails should be 60*60px.

Please feel free to use it and modify it !

Nice!

Just one small sidenote: download FF 1.5 and hover over your thumbnails, it's not quite perfect there.

Ghost : modify all 'width: 500px;' in the CSS file. It must be the maximum width of yours photos. I think it should be ok. Thanks for using it. If it doesn't works, tell me, i will try on my site with larger pictures (mines are 500px, no more).

Errrwin : i just saw the problem with Firefox 1.5. I will try to fix it ( i hope, i don't know how i can change it !?)... in few days, because lot of work this week end.

Ghost: sorry, the tip doesn't work, i forgot the background pictures.
So, to use photos larger than 500 pixels :

Example : your larger photo will be 700 pixels

- modify haut.png , bas.png , bord.png (i added photoshop and gimp files in the new version)


these are original sizes

you have to enlarge white part to 700+100=800px, so total (grey and white) will be 840px

In style.css :
- change all 'width: 500px' (8 occurences) by 'width: 700px'
- change 'width: 640px' in #main (line 59) by 'width: 840px'
- change 'width: 600px' in #surtitre (line 43) by 'width: 800px'

New version...
- added photoshop and gimp files (for background pictures) in /images/ directory
- translations from french i forgot in first version
- changes in style.css to have correct display in Firefox 1.5 when hover over the thumbnails.

Download french version / english version

Hello, I would like to know if there is a way to use this template without the images? A square box would be fine with me, instead of the curves. I don't have any way to modify the graphics properly.

Okay, I downloaded Gimp, and I am trying to figure out how to resize the gimp files without losing quality on the border...
