I released a new portfolio plugin and theme on Theme Hybrid today. Check them out. I’m also using a custom version of the theme here on this site now.

Congrats on both the plugin and theme Justin. Both are very nice.
My only thing I’d recommend is to not make heavy use of
word-wrap: break-word;I did for a long time, but it just wasn’t worth it to me. Stuff like this happens http://cl.ly/image/0x2Q1z3C0O0n where the readability is sacrificed by the wrap-ability.The only place I use it now is comments, because it’s the one place I can’t control the content. I also significantly shrink my titles on smaller devices now, so big words still fit properly.
Anyway, nice work!
That’s until you put a theme on .ORG with their weird theme unit test data. Post titles are the #1 thing there where they check word wrapping. It’s kind of a battle between what’s best for the theme and the guidelines sometimes. I’m sure I can tackle that for smaller devices though. I’ll probably start looking at making this theme more mobile friendly in version 0.2; it wasn’t a major concern for me in the initial release.
Man, that’s disappointing that they ask for that in the theme unit tests. It looks pretty weird when a word breaks in a title. Oh well…
New theme looks great, no more “earthy” colors.
Oops, “now” should be “no”.
I tried to step outside my comfort zone a little with it.
Oh, and I updated your comment above.
REally like the theme layout and typography. Nice work!
Just a couple things: the contrast on the breadcrumb trail links is not good, difficult to read
and this page looks wonky http://justintadlock.com/television, shouldn’t the list have a white background?
Yeah, I like to live on the bleeding edge with my personal site. There’s always something broken with it.
Well damn I’m liking the new design Justin, or what I should say, is the release in general of Chun and Custom Content Portfolio. If you don’t mind me saying, one of your nicer designs, not that the others aren’t!
Few things I can see from the Chun demo that I like the look of, so I’ll be checking out your code to see if it’s how I think you’ve done things?
The beauty of GitHub and the “social coding” aspect!
The layout you have for the way Post Formats are shown is the way I’d like to see WordPress 3.6 and Twenty Thirteen go. When you’re viewing a single aside for example, I do still like seeing a post title. I might just need to
stealborrow what you’re doing for my redesign?Oh and did I mention I like the blue?
I’m wondering about the aside titles. I like to have them there in general, but I’m not sure they fit completely in with this design. They’re almost a bit overpowering.
As far as WordPress 3.6 goes, I hope they don’t take the design aspect out of theme developer’s hands with the post formats overhaul.
Oh, and feel free to borrow whatever elements you want.
For the record, I also like having a title in there when you’re viewing single posts. I find it makes everything look out-of-place. I’m glad I’m not the only one who likes them there though.
I think what you have is fine, personally. If you do anything, reducing the font size might help with bringing the focus back to the actual aside content? It’s something that’ll just need continuous tweaking until you get it right.
Me neither. I don’t think I put my point across very well TBH.
The design in general, I’d love them (the designers for Twenty Thirteen) to take a leaf out your book with how things are done. As for the administration side of WordPress 3.6 though, I hope you’ll still be able to put a title on an aside if you so desire? — Perhaps I should see what has or hasn’t been discussed in that department, and chime in where necessary?
Nice theme, very unobtrusive layout and colours. I’m continually collecting ideas and inspiration for my future theme replacement.
A remark, the element I think is intended for primary navigation, so it may not be suitable for wrapping the breadcrumb.
Shoot, it stripped my markup. I’m referring to the
<nav>element above.<nav>is intended for major navigation blocks, which usually consists of but is not limited to the primary navigation. I’d consider breadcrumbs a major navigation block enough so that they warrant the use of the tag.
