Today I released a new template from the TXP Minima series – TXP Minima Photoblog.
The template is designed to be a simple photoblog, focusing on the images and content rather than the design. The styles may easily be extended/adapted, and I have included some generic layout classes for flexibility.
Included are several plugins required, including hcg_templates which is needed for importing the template. Instructions are in the readme.txt file.
Some features:
- Valid XHTML and lean CSS
- Most code stored in forms (easy to update/change)
- Designed for a photoblog, but could easily be adapted
- Extra layout classes included for flexibility and control
- Contact form and Archive
- Required plugins included
- Uses TXP tags to reduce the number of plugins

Yesterday I launched another hobby project – TXP Tips.
The purpose of the site is to make it easier for Textpattern users to build TXP powered sites. One of the major features of the TXP community is the friendly, helpful and knowledgeable nature of most participants. Over the years thousands of tips are offered by community members – anything from simple how-to’s to complex templates and custom PHP code.
Because most tips offered by community members are buried deep in the forums, it is hard to find just the right code snippet when you need it most. TXP Tips aims to make the process of finding snippets with which to build sites a little easier.
Back in July 2007, I entered a simple template design into the Textplates 2007 competition.
Textplates features template designs for the Textpattern content management system, an ultra-light and elegant CMS.
If you are looking to download the template, which is called TXP Minima, please either visit the Textplates TXP Minima page, or just go to the demo site I set up here.
