New theme? Maybe yes, maybe no…

Google’s cache and two browser tabs will probably help you figure it out. 😀

First, I went to Flickr’s Creative Commons archive and grabbed an image that was licensed Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike. Second, I went to colr.org and got some color values from the image. Third, I edited my theme’s CSS to use these color values. Then I mucked around with the theme images with an image editor, smudging the lines with the water droplet tool. Last, I uploaded the CSS and the images to the server.

Thanks to my friend Lenny Ramirez for the idea of using a beach image, and pointing out colr.org to me. He didn’t like the previous theme color scheme and was quite vocal about it! He was quite helpful with the ideas, actually. ** rolls eyes **

hey, I was thinking: how about I make a script that runs once a day, at midnight, submits to colr.org a picture tagged as “beach” from flickr, gets color values, then writes wordpress’s style.css with those values

    As the photographer, I’m glad you like the photo. Thanks for using it!

    In the photo’s comments, you said “Let me know if linking back here is enough attribution, or if I should add a page with more specific details.”

    I see that you link back to the photo in the footer of each page of your blog. I think that’s definitely enough attribution.

  2. Notice that besides complying with attributing the original, I also mention my derivative is licensed the same way.

    Thanks for coming here and giving me your imprimatur. :-)
