This message, related to the development of the theme, only displays on the localhost homepage to notify you of any important theme changes.

Version 2.0.0 - July 20, 2020

Below are the following changes that could be breaking changes for your site. For more details on any change, please refer to PR #154.

The major breaking change is:

  1. Users that have front matter that utilize images (backwards compatibility for featured and associated parameters still remains) will need to adjust from [images]="SRC" to the new format.
[[images]]
    src = "" // Link to image
    alt = "" // Alt text for image
    stretch = // Optional: See screenshots for referenced values and outcomes

If you utilize any of the following, there might be a breaking:

  1. User custom templates may require adjustment.
  2. User custom i18n languages, or custom templates referencing i18n translations may require adjustment.
  3. User custom template for comments will require adjustment if it uses the theme’s CSS and/or JS.
  4. User custom CSS may need to adjust due to a variety of class name changes and specificity changes.

While I realize this is inconvenient, I hope that it is worth it to you in the long run. Thanks for using the theme, and feel free to submit issues as needed.

One of the worst things you can ever say as a developer/programmer is “It’s working for me.” Unless of course that is immediately followed by “..but let’s dig in and figure out why it isn’t working for you.” This type of thinking is a cancer within development teams and certainly isn’t customer focused. Software breaks, apps don’t work properly, and if you’re a developer it’s your responsibility to do whatever it takes to resolve…

New Business Card!

Aaron West

1-Minute Read

We redesigned our business cards at Dataium and the new ones came in today. It’s embarrassing how long it took us to decide on a design and I bet people wonder why when they see the result. We wanted to go the super simple and clean route and the final result is quite nice even if anticlimatic.

Home Page Tributes to Steve Jobs

Aaron West

1-Minute Read

I thought it was pretty cool big sites (and in some cases competitors) like Google.com and Amazon.com posted tributes to Steve Jobs on their home page. I looked around to see which other sites were doing this and have posted some screenshots after the break. If you know of others please let me know in the comments.
