Well, Geeklog will limit your creativity somewhat. Sure, you can get rid of the blocks on the left or on the right or you can even make the columns overlap a bit. But without some major hacking you're more or less limited to the column-style design ...

Of course I would love to see someone prove me wrong on this :-)

bye, Dirk

Geeklog is really well coded... i am sure with some php experience you could hack into all of those templatehtmls and get i dunno... bubbles and stuff... i personally don't have the need to.

Geeklog is very powerful, hence the design, for everything else i just make my own code...

That's the problem. People are creating their own little thing but aren't sharing it with the community to help spark other ideas or help those who don't have the skills to add new spice into their sites. If everyone had the same attitude of only building what they needed, Geeklog and other CMS' would not have the features they have today.

I think Blaine's challenge was to get people who have skills in other areas involved too. You don't have to create something you don't need. If you incorporated some neat feature or a really nice theme then package it up and share it. This is a great way of saying thank-you to those who spent many, many hours on the core, plugins, and blocks we all are using. It's through this collective sharing that the product grows and features expand.

And lets not forget that you can mix in java applets by simply atting it the allowablehtml array in the config.php file, this can allow you to signifigantly modify the UI...

Hey guys,
On this site I changed the theme around a little to incorporate some flash as the header as well as the navigation. When the person logs in, some of the navigation changes to allow the user to access their account info. I tried to move a little away from the default geeklog look and give it its own style. The theme still has some blocks, but I just wanted to show you a little of what can be done with using flash in the templates and getting a little creative.

Matthew

Ever thought of sharing that template?
