At the moment I'm up to my neck in
drupal trying to get thomaseagle.com to a state where I can publish it and then go ahead with adding more content and features to the live site... the temporary index page is starting to annoy me now.
A couple of weeks ago I did my photoshop->flat html->drupal templates work and got basic page.tpl.php and node.tpl.php templates sorted out, with a table-less css layout (the no-style version of which needs some tweaking in terms of where bits of content appear in the html), and different styles for homepage and inner pages to allow for colour on the first, simplicity on the rest. Now that I'm starting to load content into the site via the page, image and story nodes and a couple of custom flexinodes for the web, print and ID portfolios, I'm having to do the fine-tuning that allows different content types and site sections to have specific layouts and styles... for example, I think it would be better if the photography secion had a dark grey or black background rather than a pale one so the contrast of the photos themselves would jump out a bit more, but it's not quite as easy as installing the css module and setting background colour for the image nodes to black.... that alone won't help the photography index page, so I need to find a way (or a hack) to link different css files to pages based on their section or content type... more to follow.
