I am... imitating tirinian.

I have... created a new album theme! Yay me!

I can... eat the scary bits of cheese now. Like moldy rinds. I think I'd still draw the line before that French cheese with the worms in it, though.

I should... go and get a new beater bar for the mini-vacuum attachment. Long hair is the vacuum-killer. Sigh.

I will... have too many upset people to deal with next week. (this weekend is Athena account deactivation)

Album themes

[twe.livejournal.com]

What's in a theme anyway? Is it jsut changing the colors and graphics files, or can a theme rearrrange the look of the page? I've always wanted to put the pictures above the sub-albums and not have the first slot in the sub-album table taken entirely up by the "More Albums" graphic, but rather have it the row above with a colspan=N. If a theme can do that, it would be worth making a new one. :)

Well, this one is just changing the colors and graphics, but more complex ones rearrange the page completely. (The London sub-album uses a riff on Story, which has the pictures down the sides, and a text file in the middle, and StoryCaption has pictures on the edges and captions in the middle).

It's written in not-completely-obfuscated perl, so I've been thinking it could be interesting to try and generate something that looks like my Socks log (one picture on the left, caption in the middle, then one picture on the right, caption on the middle), but I haven't quite gotten the zen of it yet.
