Tangled Up in Blue... a cool blue Sweetcron theme putting your blog up top, your lifestream below.

"Wow this is a hot looking SweetCron implementation"

Marshall Kirkpatrick (ReadWriteWeb)

Download | Demo (coming! - this site runs on it atm)

Please follow the 10 steps in the Readme.txt carefully!

Evolved from Boxdaddy, based on YongFook's classic Boxy theme, has been tested on Sweetcron 1.08e and has:

  • Tabbed navigation for single source activity
  • 'Link/blog/video/photo/audio' labels for items
  • Full, blog & page RSS feeds (i.e. feeds for search, tags, services etc)
  • A nice user interface using service colors and rounded corners in CSS3
  • A blog display area at the top of the homepage (thanks to teh blog ar (not) dead)
  • All items news shares and links go straight to original source
  • Audio players for both Blip.fm and Last.fm
  • Twitter lives in the sidebar now - way too noisy for this Sweetcron
  • A friendfeed page for the hell of it
  • Disqus integration (just add your username to files)

I've added a plugin folder with the relevant plugins bundled inside the zip. 

(Update: Version 1.1 includes IE fixes - 23/1)

User requirements: some PHP and CSS knowledge
