\nMy comment to Joseph Scott’s “Prologue, A WordPress Theme” <\/a>:<\/p>\n

A couple oddities I hope to work on: I created a page and got page titles to display in the sidebar, but when I select one of those I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t see any of the text that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s in it.
\nAlso, and this is core to the functionality I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d like to see, a post submitted on a page doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t display any differently than a post entered on the mainpage.
\nSo right now: neither About nor PlaceHolder display the text they were created with. So they, along with mainpage, display exactly the same.<\/p>\n

Now: if pages could carry their own stream \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 know what I mean?
\nWhat I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m getting at is that the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153most recent by each contributer\u00e2\u20ac\u009d shouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be universal.
\nMainpage? yes, of course, that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the point.
\nSeparate pages? How about \u00e2\u20ac\u0153most recent from each contributer on this page\u00e2\u20ac\u009d?
\nCategories? I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 maybe that should dump all posts.<\/p>\n

I haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t looked at the code, so don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know how you implemented the logic; maybe I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m at counter-purposes with you.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

My thinking is this: with minor changes, posts could be sorted a number of ways:
\n1) MainPage shows only “most recent by each contributor”
\n2) separate pages show “most recent by each contributor on page”
\n3) categories … not sure … maybe a dump of all contributions, sorted by date?<\/p>\n

Another interesting wierdness (apart from the fact that page text isn’t showing … ‘sup with that?): you can add a title in Edit, and the title shows up in Recent Posts, but you cannot add a title from the main post form.
\nRFE: don’t change the post display function, but do<\/i> change the submit form to allow the creation of a title.<\/p>\n

<rant>Without prejudice: it comes down to the kidz who have the toys get to call out the rules of the game.<\/p>\n

If I trotted out a description of my stuff … would that result in the resources needed for a launch?
\nYou see, this is where “discourse variance” kicks in: one moment we’re talking like the world is all fun, then how it’s a tough place with folk ready to mug you anytime, then back to the light and love delusion … and that’s what BluePill and “constant partial attention” allow; the people around me show all the integrity of pin-ball machines.<\/p>\n

If I could develop this stuff I know I’d have something really special. But I \/can \/not\/\/ … think it’s easy? Try it sometime. But no … that’s too much like work. Scoffing? Scoffing is easy.<\/strike><\/rant>
\nIndulge me: I get cranky\/frustrated sometimes.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Anyhow: WordPress has released a theme … no big deal there … but it creates something like a Twitter interface. I’ve applied it on http:\/\/42words.wordpress.com … it’s pretty neat.<\/p>\n

Anyhow, http:\/\/wordpress.com\/blog\/2008\/01\/28\/introducing-prologue\/ and http:\/\/ma.tt\/2008\/01\/twitter-theme\/ tell the story.<\/p>\n

BTW: if you want to set it up on wordpress.com the theme is there to be selected, but you need to navigate to page 3 or 4 to find “Prologue” … alphabetical.<\/p>\n

Anyhow, I’ve got the files from SVN<\/a> … I really really really think it needs a sidebar. (I’ve just started a stand-alone page as work-around.)\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
