[...] gilt es nur noch, diese Vorstellung auch Wirklichkeit werden zu lassen. Glücklicherweise gibt es viele Seiten, die mir diese Arbeit erleichtern – meine php-Kenntnisse sind eher spärlich, und genau [...]

Hi Leon,
I like your Cebu Living site and thanks for the theme. I interested in helping (though a little late) with the design. I’ll open it up, do a little work and send you a css. Just tell me where.

I have been using your original work as the base for a modded version of nautica-magazine for a daily news site based in ITAL Y for over a year now.

http://www.barganews.com

It has been perfect apart from the fact that it has started to feel a little cramped width-wise. Too much blank space either side of the main page, so I have been looking around for a wider template. I have now tried out three different versions of “magazine style” templates with varying degrees of success. I came to see if you had done an upgrade to the nautica template and what do I find ? a whole new template that is just perfect for my needs – well done that man ! … can’t wait for it to be released as a theme.

Max, I’ve been mod’ing your code all weekend to tweak it for a Catholic website in the US. Good job on what you’ve got; really good stuff.

Here’s one code snippet I threw in.

1) Modded home.php to look for categories instead of hardcoded catids. For example:

2) I also widgetized the third column under the search box in READER’S TOOLS. That way widgets can be added (took out editor’s picks and replaced it with a widget sidebar area).

This is probably easy stuff for you. Anyway, thought I’d comment and tell you what a great job you’ve done. When I finish, I’ll throw the code up somewhere if you want to look at it.

I don’t think you give yourself enough credit when you say you are not a designer. The Cebu Living site shows great use of fonts, colour, whitespace and layout. Great job and thanks for the SVN!

Nice theme! I’ve been looking for something very much like this.
