Flashforward Blog powered by WP1.5…

    Here ya go:

    https://blog.flashforwardconference.com

    Started with the default theme and hacked the heck out of it to blend in with the existing design of the site.

    There are some tricky things going on here — the rest of the site (www.flashforwardconference.com) runs on an IIS server with ASP and MSSQL, whereas the blog runs on a FreeBSD server with PHP and MySQL… to integrate them we have the MS server outputting its (dynamically-driven) menu as an HTML fragment and remote-including it in the php of the blog template header; on the other side we have a home-made headlines-generator running in an iframe on the main site homepage…

    Anyway, 1.5 is so nice and easy to customize (basically 3 days from project approval to launch) and we’re looking forward to getting lots and lots of use out of it. Thanks everyone! Feel free to ask if you have any questions about how all this was implemented. Next step: hooking WP up to a Flash front end! ??

    I can’t share the whole theme, because the design is the property of Flashforward, not me. But as always you are welcome to look at the HTML source to get a general sense of how it’s structured, and feel free to ask specific HTML, CSS or PHP questions here (how did you do x) and I’ll try to answer. Good luck, and thanks for the reply!
