Some of mine, I find Atahualpa to be very versatile. Love it.

Hi Steve

http://www.djd-vine.com is not a WordPress or Atahualpa site
http://setup.core.glbb.ne.jp/work/ is not a WordPress or Atahualpa site


The redroofschool site is nice, but it is disorienting to go to a completely different design for Games and Blog and to have to use the back button to return to the site. Best practice is that navigation should be the same on all pages.

The rounded banner is a nice feature on a couple of these

Hi Sharon ,
No, they are Wordpress and atahualpa with custom pages.

Yeah I agree about the navigation, but I wanted the games to be different for the kids.
And the blog is an external site.

Steve

Woops, I see now that the form is Atahualpa. My error, I apologize. But as for the other one, when I check the source, I see no wp coding, and when I checked it here:
http://whatwpthemeisthat.com/
...it tells me "www.djd-vine.com/ does not appear to be a WordPress site."

Still, I like it, I like the retro background.

The home page fore www.djd-vine.com does not appear to be WP but all the "inside" pages show Atahualpa as the theme.

AHA!! My only suggestion would be to make the CSS and JS external (down at the bottom of Atahualpa Options.

That way, your actual content is closer to the top of the page and I believe it loads faster if I am not mistaken.

Ok good idea thanks.

Beta for Postal Swim Meet
Almost done!

Really nice! I like the banner photo..very action packed.

I would actually like to see a video on this front page, maybe under "Distance is Relative" of a spectacular butterfly stroke swimmer or something...just something a little interactive. Even a wp-cycle plug in photo gallery, so that something moves, since this is all about movement.

What is the nifty registration fly out called?

The Fly out is called Tab Slide. It is a new one. You can only have one. I'd like to have the ability to have a few on different pages. I'm trying to ID all the elements so I can apply CSS to it. I hope the author keeps working on it. It is very simple.
Yes to the video We are planning on capturing a few and thats a good idea to put one there. thanks..

Thank you! I can hardly wait to try it out!

OK, I drove down to VA beach over the weekend and had my wife do a quick video.
www.swimflyfast.com It was a little rough in the water

Wow! That is super! Just what it needed! Your first banner is gone. I liked that. You do have a couple of different banners, but why don't you put them all in the header folder and allow them to rotate rther than assign banners to certain pages?

Also, it is a good idea to make your js and css external (Theme Options, down at the bottom)

This is coming along beautifully.

Thanks Sharon. I have the banners set to change each time someone moves to another page/post, not fixed to a page, I'll set it up to rotate. Need lesson on how to externalize css and js and why. The header images are place holders until later this week when I'll start promoting the site. I'll have a cleaner version of the video too. I have some better images and am thinking about making them smaller to use the real-estate to the right for ads. or incorporate sponsor logos in the images. It's a challenge to figure a good balance between promoting the event and promoting sponsors!

The little announcement line under the header image is from a plugin called "Announcement ticker highlighter scroller. Another easy one to use.

Please forgive the lousy sound, but here is how you make your JS and CSS files external. It is very easy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zejp7ske4Nw

New site with transparancy and backgrounds: http://www.plantpack.net/

Shouldn't 'mould' be 'mold'? At least in the US that's what it is

Oops, now I see that that is the British variant of 'mold'

Both OK I guess: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mold

In all senses of the word. Both spellings have been used since the sixteenth century.[154] In Canada, both words have wide currency.[155] When speaking of the noun describing a form for casting a shape, the US will also use the "mould" spelling, but defaults to "mold" when referring to the fruiting bodies of tiny fungi. In New Zealand, "mold" is the spelling adopted when describing a form for casting a shape while "mould" is used when referring to a fungus

But what do think about the site?

But what do think about the site?

Well it seems kind of empty of poco tent

Looks nice, the only thing I see is that on my ipad, the background loads after everything else and causes a slight shift of the page.

Thx! ist's not completely finished

you should reduce the quality of the background images. The bike is 315K! I was able to reduce it's quality 95% - to 86K and there is very little noticable loss of image. (I did it on a Mac using EasyCrop)

Good tip I amgoing to do that right away, thx!

Ber\Art This is one of the best ones I have seen! Congratulations!
