20 March 2008. Welcome to Thinkr Uppr

Welcome to Thinkr Uppr, a blog template for the highr intellectual designed for the Textpattern content management system. All design and development was handled by Kevin Potts, who fancies TXP quite a bit.

Thinkr Uppr is a complete, production-ready template that is designed for blogging, but could be adapted to other applications with some work. It does not require any plugins, custom fields, special sections or proprietary categories; it is almost a purely cosmetic template, not a functional one. Only a few minor tweaks are necessary to the preferences. All of this is documented in the readme.txt included in the download files.

Old Browsers? Not So Much.

This template and its accompanying files are not for the weak-of-heart when it comes to browsers. It uses transparent PNGs, positioning tricks (go ahead, play with the width of your browser) and some CSS2.1 stuff that sends IE6 and its older siblings cowering to the corner. I have no intention of making this baby backward-compatible; it works just dandy in IE7, Firefox, Opera, and Safari. Anyone who feels compelled to do that is welcome.

This is a random <h4> heading.

This site is designed to give users the opportunity to play with Thinkr Uppr and do their best to break it. All future updates and bug releases will be available here. This paragraph is set as a blockquote just because.

Features and Limitations

  • All font sizes are defined in em, for more accessible text resizing in IE.
  • Styling is provided for the following block-level elements: h2, h3, h4, p, ul, ol, and blockquote.
  • Formatted category pages and error pages ready out of the box.
  • Funky positioning effects that give the illusion of depth of field when the browser is resized horizontally.
  • Probably the best name for a template ever.

This is an example of a longer comment. See “First Post” for some shorter comments. I just want to reiterate the fact that this template is awesome by outlining some key features:

  • Sweet green circles
  • Neat vertical line thingies in the background
  • Copious use of rounded corners

Am I missing anything?
