I'm tired tonight - been a long day trying to meet deadlines and juggle things around but it's all very positive and I can't wait for the actual release so I can get the ML forums up and running.


Today I spent a good portion of the day creating a file structure that I hope will be accepted.  I sent it to Shaun, but haven't heard anything back yet, but it does give a heap more skins in a colour based directory structure to select from and a couple of mix and match colours.


I was working on the containers and found that I had to move to contextual CSS, just like Jan Olsmar had suggested, but not using div tags to the full extent.  I am not sure if this going to make it into the next release, but I will have them available at my site along with the chm files.  It's quite alto of containers, and I have been playing around with the naming convention to make them easy to add.


The easiest way was to create 6 folders with the colours in them, but because I had already created the skins with the colours folder and the styles in it (full width, fixed width, etc) I wanted to keep consistency where possible in the naming convention. 

I guess everything can be changed, but at some point you need to make a decision on what's going to be used.  There have been quite a few changes and work arounds to get things right, but I'm happy that we're there now.

My graphics guy has been staying with me for the last week, we lost a bit of time because his hard drive died, with all his work on it, so he had to start from scratch again and some of his master working files and goodies were lost.

We're on a mission now at XD - catching up again with all the work - and now that we've had a week together working out designs and have got some outstanding templates to be launched after DN3 is released.


I guess I am just here again saying that it looks like it's all getting packaged up and ready to roll out and then I can focus on the other aspects of expanding my website further due to the email I'm getting which makes me realise I have to have more accessible information on here.


Once again, thanks for the nice comments and email and I hope you are as excited about this release coming out now, because it's a worthy, reliable, robust content management system that is set to change how we do business online in the next 2 years.


Cheers and night for now!
