A Fool for Textpattern

bici · 2015-04-02 00:13:46

Ten + years ago i cobbled together my first Txp website. Over the past month, with the help of the fine folks on the community forum, I redesigned the original. Not to say that this version is not free of “hacks”. I based it on a port of a WP theme.

Today I launched the redesigned bicilogic

Very nice …

On small screens (resizing window MBP) the column has some ‘ghostspace’ on the left and right …

And it has Grade A … :)

Nice one!
Just one thing: for me the small menu icon is not very visible because of the image background.

Attractive design, but it is always recommended to validate the HTML.

thanks for the feedback. i just tried it on my MBP 13inch screen and can’t reproduce the issues you noted.

Very readable: nice font and size.
Nice graphics too.

I like the “Peleton” idea :)

I don’t like the logo: you can hardly see it, btw.

Just scroll/swipe horizontal and you’ll see what I mean … or not … :(

I guess you see them under the “Home” word, don’t you?
They are due to design.

i agree. I may just eliminate it and just have it in the footer

i can only scroll horizontal left or right a few pixels when i reduce the screen size.
send me a screen capture if you wish to.

I’ll change the colour to something more pronounced.

I have never really ever validated any sites before. Bu ti though tI would tackle this one. After a day of trying to fix issues i ended up wit ha broken site. I restored back to what i had. What frustartion!

Starting over and two errors/warnin that have me perplexed is why this is causing issues :

<txp:linklist form="plainlinks" category="Roadrash" limit="16" wraptag="br" sort="rand()" />

plainlinks_form has :

<txp:linkdesctitle /><br />

And what is with this error?

Bad value article for attribute role on element li.

<li role="article" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Article">

the > is highlighted red

( i can’t seem to show red via this : > )

First, you should correct step by step the obvious errors. For example, you have two <title> in the <head>. Or, the following HTML doesn’t make sense (from the line 86 to 90):

<ul id="menu-topbar-menu" class="nav container-inner group">
<br /> <p>			
<!--  <li id="menu-item" class="menu-item">
</li>  -->  &nbsp; <p>
</ul>

Or this (from line 101 to 106):

</form>
	<div>
	</div>
</form>

Or you have multiple id="menu-item", on line 88, 129 and 143.

Etc.

All this are examples of errors listed by the validation.
