The Beginning

A Publishing Experiment

Download the latest revision (468) from the Textpattern subversion repository. For instructions on just how to use Subversion to download the latest revisions from the development site, visit the forum and get it straight from the creator of Textpattern, Dean Allen, also the creator of Textile and CEO and Principal of TextDrive.

Convert the default Textpattern template to the lovely Blix template I found at the Textpattern Resources site. You can download more templates from The Bomb Site.

Following the instructions in the “howto.txt” file, this will involve:

  1. Copying the images to the images folder.
  2. Modifying the default style sheet
  3. Modifying the default page
  4. Modifying the default form
  5. Modifying the default page to add links to the sidebar

Note: The icons for the links will not show up properly until the CSS is modified to change URLs for the paths to the images.
