One of the defining marks of a good website is its "Look and Feel". Drupal allows for relatively easy creation and modification of themes to express your total inner design creativity and specification.

In this meetup we will look at the following:

The lifecycle of a Drupal theme
Base themes
Popular templates
Skinr - reusable theming http://drupal.org/project/skinr
Theming in Drupal Gardens
Hot Drupal Themes

Please sign-up at the bottom of this page to RSVP, < 4 sign ups required

Please re-post and forward this invite to anyone interested

Location:

Bottom floor of the Humanities block. UWI

If you drive by Mary Seacole end, you will be beside the Humanities parking lot. Walking in from there towards the big tree, the room is on the building on the bottom floor, just after you pass the "Jamaica Language Unit". The room number is Room 75, with Mark-Shane Scale on the door.

Take about $100 - $200 per person so we can get pizza and Juice.

Just an addition if its not included in this presentation, is there anyone who is theming with the Zen Theme and will that be apart of the discussion?

Wednesdays are good for me. It also ensures that there is no clash with my Toastmasters meetings.

Ok the time has been updated to Wednesday, don't forget to sign up to this post so I can know how many people are actually going to be there. Even if you are unsure please sign up, two signed up so far.

OK, I'll try to make it on

OK, I'll try to make it on Wednesday. I have a video-cam we can use, may be a good idea to capture audio separately as my experience in shooting past meetups/presentations resulted in shaky audio quality. Zen is a great theme, I use it as my base/starter theme in most cases. Anyone use the 960 theme? It seems like a good standard to work from http://groups.drupal.org/node/16457

So this Wednesday it is...

Once you are at the back

Once you are at the back (Irvin) gate, continue straight to scotiabank. Turn left and walk across the ring road towards the faculty of Humanities. Pass the commuting students lounge and head towards the "Big Tree"
