BarosqueletteW
Here is the SPIP skeletton I have been using since the creation of my website. It’s based on a skeletton designed by atypik{.biz} but I ended up modifying it a lot.
- Some SEO optimization: adding the title of the article in the < title > tag, use of < h1 >< /h1 > tags, increased use of < meta > tags, “alt” attributes for < img > tags etc.
- Full integration of the weather forecast page with the SPIP skeletton (not available in English unfortunately)
- Using script.aculo.us to give a touch of Ajax to the website (that’s what I am using to toggle the display of articles on the main page)
- Displaying a random image from my gallery, added Google statistics and search box as well as a CSS menu
- Management of 404-errors (returning the appropriate error-code in the HTTP header) in article.html
- Fully bilingual website (French and English)
- Added source code coloring
- W3C validation of the CSS files and of some of the HTML pages
- Enabled the website for RSS feeds with the following line in the < head > tag <link rel=”alternate” type=”application/rss+xml” title=”BaroqueW – RSS” href=”http://www.baroquew.net/spip/backend.php3?lang=<:lang:>”>
- Changed the CSS to display logos in the articles header
- Fixing the boards and comments, adding a bubble style for the comments, offering comments a more important place on the website
- Major update: improved user experience when using Internet Explorer for those out there who still live in a cave. You will enjoy the website better using Firefox or Safari.
- Improved rendering and nicer colors on articles and on the main page, especially for notes and embedded code
- Reorganized article page to ease navigation on the website.
Final update: May 21st 2007 since I am now using WordPress.
For those of you who are still using Spip 1.8.3, you can download an older version of my skeletton here.
