What JS are you using to produce the top menu that goes transparent when scrolling starts? I like that and have a good use on a website for it. Before I go digging I figured I would ask. Nice minimal theme also. Awesome and will come in handy! Thanks.

Hi Justin,
thank you for this theme. I think it’s awesome.
I’d like to use it for a personal blog (and I will send you some cups of joe), but I need to translate it into German. So before I begin digging deeper into CSS – is there a language file available. And, if not, what do I need to do?

Thanks for your support, it’s highly appreciated!

hello,

thank you so much for your beautiful work! i am hardly able to decide which of your themes to use; all of them are so lovely.

i have started with this theme and would like to customize a bit, but am fairly new to all this css styling, so it ain’t easy. but i know that it’s possible to change font family & size for some themes; is it possible to do so with Miniml Press? Forgive my ignorance.. the stylesheet is so clean, I don’t know what to make of it! also, how to change the color for hovering over a link? (default color is yellow..)

again thanks for all your hard work, you can be sure i will contribute to your coffee fund.

@lynn: The easiest way to customize the css is to go to the css file in your admin area. Appearance -> Editor

From there you can edit all the styles. To change the hover color, find this line: a:hover{background:yellow}. If you have any specific changes you would like to make and you can’t figure out how, just let me know, and I’ll see what I can do to help.

How do I get the images to crop rather than stretch on the homepage with the Get The Image plugin?

Okay, scratch my earlier comment – how do I get the right column of the main page to only display 1 post?

miniml press is the second theme released by siiimple.com, the first being the daily grind theme, which has received a warm reception. miniml press has been in the works for awhile. it is a personal favorite – and I have paid special attention to its detail. it came about as an offshoot to the un.complicated – http://www.un-complicated.com/ site I developed sometime ago. I was asked if un.complicated could be easily enough converted to a wordpress platform – and so I began the process of this conversion. with that said, I believe it has it’s own identity, separate from un.complicated.

this theme is wigetized. like the daily grind, it was built with the wonderful bare basic nude wordpress platform that goes by the name Starkers. and again, like the daily grind, it implements the fantastic web grid system "the golden grid".

Plugins

in the demo, I’m utilizing 4 plugins, and they are as follows and you should either activate or remove them from the code, otherwise you’ll get a call to undefined function error:

twitter tools – by Alex King http://alexking.org/projects/wordpress

the excerpt-reloaded – by Kaf Oseo, Rob Bresalier http://robsnotebook.com/the-excerpt-reloaded/

Get Custom Field Values – by Scott Reilly http://coffee2code.com/wp-plugins/get-custom-field-values/

Side Notes

*The images in the posts are utilizing Get The Image plugin, and are set to the width of 470px x 150px – of course, you can change this by finding this code in the index.php:

<?php get_the_image(array('custom_key' => array('feature_img'), 'default_size' => 'medium', 'width' => '470', 'height' => '150', 'image_class' => 'feature')); ?>

Here is the custom key and the width/height values.

*In order to set the categories you need to find the # of the category, once it is created in the admin section. the number will be at the end of the url, like this:

http://s51370.gridserver.com/_minimalwordpress/wp-admin/categories.php?action=edit&cat_ID=1

1 = the category ID

*I used delicious api to call my bookmarks. in order to do the same, visit delicious.com
