The slideshow solution uses NextGen Gallery running on WordPress, but it’s not inside a post or page as it was designed to work. It’s inserted into the template. I found the first clue that this was possible on code.google and adapted from there. The code line that I’ve ended up using is echo nggShowSlideshow(id,width,height); inside php brackets, obviously.

This solution is great because — unlike other slideshow plugins — the publisher isn’t stuck with the first slideshow’s width and height parameters and can use the same plugin all over the site with different sizes.

Other aspect of this redesign that I’m particularly fond of is the positioning of the article/post title. It doesn’t use any clever solution, I just like it. Hope you do too.

Way radical changes, ahn dude? ;)

It’s called Godô dança. Godô is short for Godofredo and dança means dances. It’s a children’s book. The story is about dog considered to be lame and boring until we discover that it… dances! Dança is the first book of at least ten, each about a different action, such as cooking, spying, etc.

The godofredo.org site (portuguese only) has a blog about animals, activities pdfs, a glossary of terms used in the book and a gallery section with photos and/or artwork from readers.

The book is already distributed nationwide (Brazil) and can be found in all the major bookstores.

Its ISBN is 978-85-204-3103-0 and the publisher is Editora Manole.

Both story and illustrations (and design) are mine.

The illustrations are vector over acrylic paint and/or china ink.

It´s a mixed solution, using CSS, the excelent Category Icons plugin, cottage cheese, a goat, duct tape and pepper. ;)

October 2009 version of vignamaru.com.br, my personal site in portuguese.

This site had so many different versions that I’ve just stopped counting. I think this is its 40-something^th layout, but I´m not sure.

You can check printscreens of older versions on my portfolio or, if you’re really curious, browse the internet archive.

Design & Joomla template for Nutre

Redundant navigation: footer icons + sidebar and top menu.

The footer icons work on pure CSS. The key is to use 2 different CSS classes and change from one to the other on mouseover. 

php:

img class=”‘mouseout’” onmouseout=”className=’mouseout’”; onmouseover=”className=’mouseover’”

css:

.mouseout {
 width: 40px;
 height: 32px;
 }
 
.mouseover {
 width: 80px;
 height: 64px;
 }
