    How do you prefer to customize design

    Hi everybody,

    How do you prefer to customize the design?

    Do you change existing templates or just styles ?

    Thanks,

    Alex

    Good question Alex.

    Due to my clients needs, I am forced to change the templates. Unless you can live with the example site markup/structure, I think you must change them.

    I create my own base, site and home page templates, then merge/integrate Anthony's uBlogsy Blog and Post templates as subitems of my new ones with as few changes as possible.  The negative is there certainly will be a bunch of manual updates needed if any huge changes come in a future uBlogsy releases.

    Anthony, what is your recommendation for allowing the most "future proof" template customizations?

    "Anthony, what is your recommendation for allowing the most "future proof" template customizations?"

     

    Build for the now, refactor later :)

    In all seriousness, that's an open ended question. Will there likely be a bunch of markup changes in the future?... probably not. Only if I make it responsive. But that's not happening in the next few months.

    Good to hear.  My current project using uBlogsy is using a fixed-width layout but future projects are primarily responsive unless the client or graphic designer refuse to play along.

    I personally think bootstrap is the way to go... if anyone wants to bootstrap ublogsy, i'd be happy to add it to the source ;)

    I actually am working with Foundation now rather than Bootstrap.  If I end up with anything shareable, I'll contribute.
