Themes Are Like A Chalkboard
Quote
Themes are like a chalkboard. [One] can make a chalkboard that has a bunch of predefined spaces and colors and ways to fill it with things, but you still need to pick up that chalk and fill up the given space yourself.

WordCamp Berlin 2010
Status
On July, 3 2010 this year’s WordCamp Germany will take place in Berlin. Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend, since I’ll be writing my final exams at that time. Nevertheless I wanted to contribute, and so you’ll find a banner in the sidebar, explicitly inviting you to have a look and educate yourself.
HolidayCheck Campus
HolidayCheck Campus is the first blog that I created on the HolidayCheck Blog Network. Its theme is a child of the theme framework I used for the Polish and German Blog, thus taking advantage of all modules I incorporated in the parent theme. Since its design (Mock up by Thomas Witt) is so different from its counterparts, it almost exclusively uses its own templates (even the searchform!).
Again, I had to customize a lot to meet the requirements. Here are some modules I had to extend or create:
- Admin Advice
Textbox in the settings area to edit a Dashboard Widget, viewable for all authors and guestauthors with instructions - Code Markup
This is still in development, I’m currently looking for a possibility to highlight the code without a buggy plugin - Post Thumbnail
Adds theme support and displays the thumbnail in the posts overview - Search excerpt
Highlights the searchterm and displays the section of an article where the term was found (try it here!) - Twitter anywhere
Add the Twitter anywhere functionality with a fallback for users who have JavaScript disabled
