These are the images used by the standard Minx 1.1 themes.  If you want to modify a "Starter Banner" generated by the theme builder, grab the matching photo from here (or whatever photo you like), upload it to your images directory, and select it in the Style Images editor.

Just right-click on the image you want, and choose "Save link as...", and take it from there.

Here's the sample CSS for the new [pullquote] tag. Note that the rainbow scheme is meant as an example, and not as something I'd recommend anyone actually use.

The standard RSS2 template.  This is specified in the feed template for each folder; I will be adding fields so that you can specify custom per-folder atom and archive templates.  The default type is "Feed" and the default name "RSS2".

Currently, you can only have two automatic feeds per folder, RSS and Atom.  Some other systems support RSS 0.92 and RSS 1.0; I've decided to concentrate on the more modern (and simpler) feed formats.  It is possible to create additional feeds by setting up your own parallel linked folder structure, but I'm not sure that there's a lot of requirement for that.

This is the standard Atom template.  To create your own, the type should be "Feed" and the template "Atom".

Some notes about this one

<base>

[page.base] is the base directory for your current folder.  This is used so that relative paths for links and images will still work for archives, where additional "directory" levels are appended to the URL.  This may need some tweaking to accommodate your own multiple directory levels.

The target option here controls how links are opened: _self makes them open in the current window; _blank will make each new link open in a new window (or tab, if your browser is set up that way).

Feeds

Both Atom and RSS feeds should be working now (sorry about that!)  The two links here should provide autodiscovery for your feeds in most browsers.  This works perfectly in Opera and IE7.  In Firefox, it does work, but automatically chooses the Atom feed without giving you an option.  This is odd, because if I add a third feed to the list, Firefox presents a menu for all three.

Both feeds validate, with some warnings in some cases; I'll be working on tidying that up so that they validate perfectly in all cases.  (Using the validator at feedvalidator.org.)

Doctype

The doctype is given as XHTML1 Transitional.  There's no way for me to guarantee that Minx generates valid XHTML1, short of running it through something like Tidy, which would double the load on the server.  I will work on cleaning up the standard templates, so that at least a freshly created blog will validate cleanly.

Current version.  This will be changing slightly this weekend, to reflect the updated software: The [comment.iphash] tag will become [comment.ip.hash].

Latest version.  It's a bit untidy, but I'll get it cleaned up soon.
