THEME 002: Calling Card




NOTABLE FEATURES

  • Styled comment and icon pages
  • Nav bar hidden until hover
  • Fluid width
  • Responsive header
  • 8 color schemes
  • Optimized for Chrome, but also tested in Firefox and Edge


  • HOW TO INSTALL THE THEME

    1. PLEASE NOTE! This theme requires both a TITLE AND SUBTITLE to look right. The subtitle is the large text you see in the header.

    2. Read my Terms of Use. By continuing installation, you are agreeing to full compliance with these terms.

    3. From the Select Journal Style page, choose the Plain theme for Tabula Rasa.

    4. On the same page, scroll down to section 3. Choose a Page Setup and select 1 Column (modules at bottom; no sidebar).

    5. Click Customize Selected Theme at the bottom right.

    6. On the Presentation tab, scroll all the way down and select icons from the last 3 drop-down menus.

    7. On the Modules tab, make sure that Profile, Navigation, and Style Credit are all selected and placed in the Main Module Section. (Note: The Profile module is optional, but if you do want it on the layout, it must be placed in the Main Module Section.)

    8. Also in the Modules tab, select additional desired modules for the Main Module Section or Secondary Module Section, if any. These will appear at the bottom of the theme.

    9. On the Custom CSS tab, deselect "Use layout's stylesheet(s)" (there should be NO CHECKMARK), paste the code for your chosen color scheme into "Use embedded CSS" and save.

    PROFESSOR



    CABBAGE ROSE



    DECORUM



    HI-FI



    LAST RESORT



    PATISSERIE



    SALUT



    SCRUNCHIE


    CUSTOMIZATIONS


    Remove the large first letter in posts:
    Open the code in a text editor like Notepad. Search for .entry-content:first-letter. Then remove all of the following:
    .entry-content:first-letter {
    float: left;
    color: #3f424d;
    font-family: 'Times New Roman', Georgia, serif;
    font-size: 75px;
    padding: 4px 4px 3px 0;
    }


    Color hex codes:
    "Professor" is the easiest scheme to find and replace the colors on.

    #3f424d

    #b7c1c2

    #f2f2f2


    ENJOY!


    If you decide to use this theme, I'd love to know, and would particularly love to see it in action if you care to link the journal! Please feel free to ask questions about this theme in the comments to this post.

    Known Issues:

    - The links for post headers do not work. This has to do with the way I positioned the icon; I may or may not fix this later.

    - In Chrome, the post's icon overlaps the post title a little when the title is extremely long.

    - In Edge, the comment content overlaps the comment interaction/link bar.

    - On reading pages, entries from feeds have content overlapping the header. FIXED: CODE HERE.
