It's been a while since I posted one of these, and this is definitely not a slant on all you beautiful people that have been slaving away on your superb ... One of the most common questions on the boards, is how do you add another column for Manji. Now I'd originally decided not to ever release Manji with two columns, and the reason for that is simple, just about all blogging themes have got at least two columns. Some might argue for good reason. I tend to believe that in order to keep Manji unique, I would keep it single column, and that was the philosphy. Of course even I've resorted to doing a two column layout within Manji, and it's been there since the day I released version 1.0, on the official Manji download page. Is it hard to implement, no not really. So here it is for all you crazy cats that have decided to go to the wordpress boards with this question after I told you NO ^_^, yeah that's right I'm looking at you, I'll spill the BIG secret.

Manji Introduction. The first time I talked about Manji was in this post right here. That was on the 28th of September. The name of the theme changed to Chameleon, however I quickly realised that the name was common in it's use on the internet for various programs, so I had to rethink my name, and in the end Manji just sounds better. What is Manji? Manji is a template for the Wordpress blogging software. Effectively it’s a skin for your website, that is easy to modify and while you customise it to your own needs will hold down the fort in style. Flavouring System. One of the first ideas that came to me as I was doing the design was to actually have something called a flavouring system. Since I always intended Manji to have a GPL license, I thought any derivatives could have their own unique name as well, chosen by the person who did the mods. That way people could put their own signature. So when eventually you download the theme and change it around a nice and uniform way of naming would be "Something" Flavoured Manji. Manji History I originally contact Root (an active member of the wordpress community and all round CSS and XHTML guru) on whether he would like to work on a template together. I would do the design he would do the coding parts. This was back on 1st of October 2004. At that point in time I’d actually made a draft copy of the final design. I knew it would change significantly but the original thoughts that I had would remain throughout the design. We talked about the logistics of working in completely different cities (same country) and eventually I set up a secret installation where we begun work in ernest. It became pretty clear to Root earlier on that in terms of coding I was a complete monkey and that he best take over completely from that side of things. The way it would work is that I would draw mock ups in freehand and photoshop and he’d set everything up for me, I’d then go back in and tweak the colours, fonts, text sizes etc. We completed around 85% of the template before he disappeared off the internet. None of this would have been done without him and so he is credited completely for contributing to the design. I can’t put xhtml and css by Root, because I’ve made a mess of it since he left, if/when he gets back we’ll release an updated version of the template that will incorporate how you’re meant to do code it correctly. Any validation errors you get are of my construction as Root left it validating 100%.
