The success is mine, sort of. Two of the teachers in my Teacher Portfolio class actually did Manila sites for their portfolios. Nothing major here, and not very smooth, I know. But a baby step. And I’ve got a couple more teachers coming in to set things up next week, so we’re getting there.
Spent yesterday working in Photoshop and Manila to create a new look for this site and cleared one major hurdle just by making something work! Still some glitches, like for the life of me I can’t get the Discuss and Edit buttons at the end of News Items to not plow into the right-hand column, but…
And it’s interesting that Dave is having the same problems. Boy, I thought I was frustrated:
As someone who loves Manila, this embarasses the hell out of me. Why can’t we get rid of these glitches? Why, when we do, do they keep coming back??
and:
So does anyone have a clue which themes are worth preserving and which should be thrown on the scrap heap? Bryan has not really been much of a help here. I must do something about this. My users are actually using the damned things, the ones Bryan says they shouldn’t. What a goddam mess this is.
Yeah…um…welcome to our world.
