Gemini and Trident templates

Don’t you think it’s a little irresponsible posting templates when the chief developer of WordPress has labelled them fundamentally flawed?

No I don’t. I think the templates work fine as they are, in the same way that the default template works. Most people will use them as a basis and adapt them. Along the way, they will learn something about CSS and such.

Thanks!

Weren’t those templates under the GPL? So anyone can redistribute them, it doesn’t matter what the author says or what the developers think about them. Good way to get more hits to your site anyway, wish I’d thought of it first.

Traffic shouldn’t be about ‘conning’ people to go to your site. You should offer quality content that makes people want to come to your site… but that’s just my 0.02.
In any case, link is dead.

Moose-baiting didn’t work, huh? ?? Anyhoo, whatever happened to the latin for “moose candy” you used to have up on your site? I went looking for it the other day because I met someone who makes gifts from moose droppings in acrylic. (sorry about changing the subject – it is only temporary)

@brak,
Link is live. Just had a temporary issue with host.
@beel
Alces alces nuclearis cuppedia was the tagline. Drop the “nuclearis” and you’ve got “moose candy” more or less! ??

Didn’t realise others had already done this. Good that people are just getting on with it.

Heh, cool idea.

Does any have a copy of Vevsuvius? I am curious as to what it looks like.

As I recall, Vevsusius is similar to Trident but I don’t have a copy to confirm that with. If anybody does have a copy; I’m willing to mirror it.

Does anyone have links to screen shots of these templates in action?

Wordlog uses Gemini doesn’t it?

My Site uses Trident if anyone wants to grab a shot (or just to see it in action.)
