Some style for the blog section! #17

I was thinking about styling them in multiple columns pinterest style but maybe only 2-3 wide Max. Also I like the idea of color coordinating them ie: all of my posts have a red border or a transparent red bg etc.

I like the idea of the grid, and the color coordinating. Maybe do a border on a single side of the box?

The problem with styling them based off author is that there is no easy way to parse the author from the RSS feed.

I'm thinking that instead of using a single RSS feed to aggregate the posts, maybe we can provide a way for the user to submit an RSS feed through their user profile, and that would associate a color with them.

This solves not only the issue of the color coding, but also of maintaining that list whenever a new member has a blog they want to add.

Optionally, we could provide a request / approval process for those posted, but as I don't see that being a problem, I think open assignment is fine. If it becomes a problem, we'll add it then.

What do you guys think?

Sounds awesome, great idea. Do we want to do anything to keep already chosen colors unavailable? So it's always unique? On Oct 19, 2013 8:11 PM, "Matthew M. Keeler" notifications@github.com wrote:

Yeah, ideally I think we should try to do something like that. Otherwise, we kind of lose the benefit of the color coding.

Ideas on the best way to handle this?

Cool, now we just need an awesome selection of colors. On Oct 19, 2013 8:57 PM, "Matthew M. Keeler" notifications@github.com wrote:

I have pushed some changes that allow users to add RSS feeds from their profile page.

Currently, only charter members' feeds will be automatically approved. We will have to manually approve others. Eventually, I'd like to generate some email notification when someone submits one. And we need an admin interface to manage these.

Also on the profile page, you can choose a color to represent you.

I did some basic styling with the left border like we discussed, but that was more so the designers can see how to access the property. I leave the pretty stuff to those with an eye for it! :D
