Would you like to make a full time income from your blog? Download the free 30 day blogging course and start making money in just 30 days.I’ve released an update to Upstart Blogger Futurosity Altera. It is now WordPress 2.3 compatible. I’ve added tags to the bottom of individual posts and a tag cloud to the bottom of the page. This version always fixes the text size of the latest posts so it is consistent on the home page and individual entries. I’ve also fixed the styles for blockquotes.
Altera has now been renamed Upstart Blogger Futurosity Magazine. I have been informed that the name violates a trademark held by Altera Corporation. Upstart Blogger is in no way affiliated with Altera Corporation. If you have already downloaded Upstart Blogger Altera theme, please edit footer.php to remove the Altera name. Thank you.
Please see WordPress Theme: Upstart Blogger Futurosity Magazine for instructions if you are upgrading and have modified your template files or style.css file.
I have recently grabbed your Altera theme to use on my site, and I have ran into a problem. I can not get any of the categories except the default to show on the page, this is even after following your great instructions in your tutorial video. Any help would be greatly appriciated.
I would need more information to help you, but if you followed the instructions everything should work.
Waiting patiently for Modica…
It’s coming…
Thanks again Upstart Blogger!
Very nice… Thanks!!
With all the hand-coding to customize, can I assume we just update the style.css file? I also assume that uploading this new plugin will overwrite everything I’ve coded…
Updating style.css has fixed the blockquote issue on Safari. However, on IE7, the first line remains all lowercase and the first letter is a different font color.
Perhaps a quick tutorial for those that are updating the Altera theme from a previous version?
I’ve posted some tips on upgrading from the previous version on the theme page: Upstart Blogger Futurosity Altera.
Oh, to fix the color, you’ll want to change the color property in this:
.single .entry-content blockquote p:first-child:first-letter{color:inherit;float:none;font-size:1em;text-transform:uppercase;line-height:18px;margin-right:0;}to this:
.single .entry-content blockquote p:first-child:first-letter{color:#444;float:none;font-size:1em;text-transform:uppercase;line-height:18px;margin-right:0;}This isn’t a comment to your post.
I just modified one of your pre-made wordpress themes. Nice clean theme and I hope you like what I did with it.
This is my first wordpress blog so thanks for creating something that doesn’t give people a headache.
@Norm: Thanks for your comment. Glad you like the theme.
