COREBlog Default Skin Tweaks

The default skin of COREBlog doesn't show the sidebox for pretty much everything except the home page. This isn't ideal if you depend on the sidebox for navigation or advertisements, so I hacked on it a bit to fix this.

I've made an XML ZEXP dump available online for those who want to test and or use this. Just download the file to your Zope instance's import directory, and import the default folder to replace the one in your COREBlog instance's skin folder. After that you'll need to go to your COREBlog instance's settings tab and reactivate the default skin to replace the existing one.

That's it! Bug reports to jijo@free.net.ph.

About COREBlog

I am using COREBlog for this blog. It is very interesting to use this because it is quite different from WordPress because it is the blogging system for Zope. Tweaking stuff in it is new to me so it's mainly Jijo who does that. Just like this new layout my blog has =) It looks so neat and feminine. And quite Japanese ;)

Features it has in common with WordPress:
Easy posting of entries/articles
Categories
Calendar
Moblogging capabilities
Trackback
It is searchable

A difference it has with WordPress is, of course, the ZMI, or the Zope Management Interface. I haven't really messed with that so I can't tell you anything else aside from the information in the link I gave.

COREBlog has a default skin which is greys and white. But other skins can be downloaded here. Cute skins and icons are available there but the website is mainly Chinese =( You could also check this out for skins. That one is in English.

It is an interesting thing for me to use COREBlog because I see dtml's in some modules. Interesting how things are using this =)

Anyhow, much thanks to Jijo for fixing this blog and beautifying it! Doumo arigatou!=)
