It’s snowing and snowing and snowing here in Fredericksburg today, and according to the weather, it’s supposed to continue blowing cold flour everywhere for the next few hours still! So, I figured this was as good a time as any to put up the information I said I would on the new theme.
A few people have been asking me to explain how I made the theme, and I saw questions on other class blogs about how to change the images. As such I made a short tutorial over viewing both things. But not just any tutorial. I figured I’d make it my first video tutorial. Plus, it’s just easier to explain if you can see it. So enjoy!
Note: If anyone else has a different and/or easier way, please post it in the comments here or on the YouTube video! This is just how I figured it out on my own, but I’d love to see any other ideas!
Sam,
This is awesome, and I love you did it as a video tutorial. What screen capture service/application did you use? A meta-tutorial about how you made the video could be yet another project down the line.
I, like you, am enjoying the snow, and I dig your lost theme. Now I have to ask, are you a fan of lostpedia.
My wife and I are also huge Lost fans, but I’m not sure we measure up to your unbrideled passion. I see some Lost fan fiction in your future storytelling endeavors
Man, I thought my way was easy. I would take a screenshot of the page then crop it in PS to see how big the images were. Now that I think about it, I have no idea why I haven’t just been saying “open in PS” clicking on the images. Huh. So thanks for that!
What’s funny is that I had the same idea. Since I’m stuck in the house this weekend because of the snow, I figured that I would play around with some themes. I have one on my blog already, but I’m not sure if it quite says anything about me.
Jim Groom: Thank you muchly! I also saw that you even put it on your Twitter, so thank you for that! I used a screen capture program called “Camtasia Studio 6.” It’s a bit pricey for a program, which is why I’m actually just using it on the basic 30-day trial at the moment.
I feel like a complete nerd saying this, but yeah I have been using Lostpedia since Season 3. In fact, I helped write a few of the pages on there.
“Unbrideled passion,” eh? Thank you! I think that’s the nicest way anyone has ever called me “obsessed”
You’re welcome, Charles, and I saw my index.html helped with yours, too. Thanks for mentioning me in your post.
Dolly, your site theme honestly reminds me of a piece of cake. So if you like cake… then I’d say the theme is perfect for you!
Awesome post, it looks like a lot of hard work is involved behind this . . . Very helpful post. Thanks so much!
