The Book

The book all about implementing themes in Community Server.

Get it at Amazon or Barnes and Noble

Syndication

Now, as I finish my series on Chameleon (the new theming engine in Community Server 2007), the posts can actually be read on a blog implemented using Chameleon!

That's right, with the latest theme update on my site, I've upgraded to the current build of CS2007!

I'll probably continue to tweak the new theme a bit over the next few days, but, in general, I like the simpler look and lighter background colors.

What do you think?

I think it looks great! So, how long did it take? Did you beat Rich's time? :)

I think this theme looks a little more complex than that one I did Jose. It looks great though Ben!

It took a while to create the mock-up, a few hours to implement the design, an hour or two to make it work in multiple browsers and validate as XHTML, and a few hours to get it installed (the server its installed on had a beta-version of ASP.Net 2.0, so I had to uninstall it and install 2.0 RTM). Once it was up and running, I resaved all of my blog posts so they would validate as XHTML as well.

I think it's time for a release already, quit teasing us with all these "hey look at me" posts :)

Ben, this is the nicest CS2007 skin I've seen. Congrats.

Is there going to be a skinning contest when CS 2007 goes RTM? Can we please exclude Ben? <g>

Wow! I really like this skin :)

Is it going to be included in CS2007? ;)

I ran into your site googling blog themes for CS 2007. I have to say, you're site is gorgeous. One of the best CS sites I think I've ever seen. I'm no dev, but I am a techie, slowly learning .net and c# when I can, and I definitely can appreciate what it takes to build a theme like this.

From one noob to a geek god, release your code!!! heheh

I'm totally necro'ing your post. But hey, Kudos man!
