Modifying Light Grid
There are several things you should take a look at if you know a bit of HTML.
The Header
First of all, I suggest you download and re-link the following header files so you won’t have any issues in case my server goes down or I move things around later on:
- Blueprint Screen CSS
- Blueprint Print CSS
- Blueprint IE CSS
- Blueprint Fancy-type Plugin CSS
- Tumblr Light Grid CSS
Also, the following image files if you so wish to use them:
I basically put everything in its own subfolder on my server, so images linked from the last CSS file are linked as: url(../img/bg_stripe.png)
Making it Your Own
If you download the .txt file to copy and paste to your theme you’ll notice the text link that sends you back the the home page is generated using the {Title} tag. You can remove this tag and add your own name. If you use a last name or a second word, you can separate it by using <span> instead of a space for a more stylish look.
Don’t forget to add a description to your site if it doesn’t already have one, otherwise it would be best to remove that section. Or you can replace it with a twitter feed which I always thought would be a nice touch but hate the idea of having both the twitter feed and a description… so yeah.
Some Last Words
I can’t make you keep the links on the footer so take them out! Unless you like the theme, a bit of accreditation never hurt. :)
