[2.x] [New skin] frugal theme

My b2evolution Version: 2.x

Hi

I have just packaged up a skin that I put together for my blog in the hope that others may want to use it. I was looking for something very simple and clean and came across the Frugal theme for Wordpress and ported it across (with the authors permission).

The original wordpress theme is here:

http://frugaltheme.com/

My blog is currently using it if you want to see what it looks like:

If you want to give it a try then you can download it from here:

The skin is currently for the 2.4.x series of b2evo. I will update to the 3.x series when I have figured out all the bits I need to add.

Cheers
Lee

Hi

I have made a few updates to the frugal skin to fix a couple of bugs:

- Comments feed is now removed when feeds are turned off in the backend
- CSS update for when a blockquote is first in a post (thanks to Walter for reporting that)

If you want to update then you can download it from here:

Cheers

Hi leeturner! Just another thing:

You have used a time format to match the original frugal (I downloaded it!)


							$Item->issue_time( array(

									'time_format' => 'F jS, Y',

								) );

But this could be somewhat limiting on i18n environments (In my blog I get "Julho 11th, 2009" that makes no sense at all).

I think that the best option is to use date_format => '#' that will use the date format from locales or maybe, in the future, with 3.3 and his skins settings, use the setting on the skin itself.

Just my 2 cents!
