Wordpress Facebook Clone Theme

Posted on June 13th, 2009 by Rio

Facebook style Wordpress theme from Nazieb is so Facebook :D but it needs more enhancements to make it more facebook. First, add this rules to your css file:

.textwidget p{margin-top:7px;}
.form_login{margin-bottom:7px;}
.current-cat{border-right:1px solid #D8DFEA;}
.archive{display:none;}
.post-text h2,.post-text h3{font-family:Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size:14px}
.post-text h3{font-size:12px}
.post-text img{background:#ddd}
.post-text img.aligncenter{border:1px solid #ccc; border-color: #ddd #ddd #ccc #ccc; border-width:1px 1px 2px 1px; margin:20px 0; padding:10px}
.post-text ul,.post-text ol{line-height:normal; margin:0 0 20px; }
.post-text li{list-style:square; line-height:normal; margin:0 0 7px 12px; }
.post-text ol li{list-style:decimal; margin:0 0 7px 18px; }

This will fix the whitespace between the elements.

Yeah, my enhancements quite lame huh!? Just wait, I want to make something more on this, but I have some work to do now. Maybe next time :P

The Legendary CSS Ninja

Posted on June 13th, 2009 by Rio

I really don’t know for sure what it means to be a CSS Ninja, but from my own perception it must be something like The Legend of the Gutsy Ninja,

This was Jiraiya’s first written book. He wrote this book while training the Ame Orphans. He dedicated it to Nagato because he gave Jiraiya the inspiration for the book. Also, Nagato’s words about peace are the last words said in the book (which are said by Naruto the gutsy ninja). This book was first mentioned by Minato Namikaze, who told Jiraya that it was a really great book. Jiraya only replies that it wasn’t on the bestseller list. Minato then said that he’ll name his son after the main character of this book, Naruto, and train the boy to be like that. Kushina comes out and agrees. With no choice, Jiraiya agrees and says that he’ll be the baby’s godfather. Later, Fukasaku gave it to Naruto so that he could read Jiraiya’s book. The contents showed a ninja named Naruto the gutsy ninja. This ninja said that he’ll never give up on anything that he does. The ninja also said that he’ll break this “curse” that was mentioned in the story. After reading, Naruto seems to be crying.

While Naruto fought Pain, Naruto takes out the book and recited the quote: “I will break this curse.” Nagato remembered that he said those words to Jiraiya. At the time, Nagato was talking about making peace. It seems that Jiraiya’s idea for this book came from Nagato’s own quote. This book helped save Konoha.

Then maybe being a CSS Ninja must be able to making “peace” in CSS way. This blog is dedicated to that path, the path that will save the CSS world by providing the best practices in cross browsing, usability, user interface, and all CSS related issues. In the end, CSS will be easy to understand and used as it should be.

Let’s make it happen!
