RapidWeaver 4.0 and seyDoggy themes

With all the chatter about the impending RapidWeaver 4.0 release there is probably some question about our current RapidWeaver theme library and whether our themes are compatible with RapidWeaver 4.0. The long and short of it is that all but two of our themes are currently enabled with full RapidWeaver 4.0 suite of features while the last two are still compatible regardless. All RapidWeaver 3.6 themes work in RapidWeaver 4.0 as is.

That's not to say we won't be updating those last two themes, in fact they are updated already, we've just been too busy to release them yet. The same goes for our seyDesign 2008 site redesign, it's nearly ready to go, we're just trying to find the time to add two more new themes to the roster before we launch.

We had hopes of launching seyDesign 2008 before RapidWeaver 4.0 was released but that just won't be possible now. It's always good to be busy I guess, but sleep is good sometimes too.

Gary speaks about the "Pro"

Gary from RapidWeaverThemes.com has just posted a commentary on what makes you a Pro when you call yourself a "Pro Theme Developer". He hits the nail on the head, it's NOT just those who do it exclusively for a living who can call themselves a Pro. It's more than that. It's all in how you conduct yourself and your business.

Some of the names you think of when you think of a "Pro Theme Developer" are myself (seyDoggy), RapidWeaverThemes.com, Elixir Graphics, RapidIdeas, BlueBall Design, Josh Lockhart, MultiThemes, Varsis Studio, THEME WEAVER... The fact of that matter is that only a few of us actually make themes and web designs for a living, exclusively, while others have day jobs, go to school and what not. But what makes them all worthy of the Pro title is their support and commitment their products, to RapidWeaver and to each other as a community of friends and developers.

seyDOGGY (not seyDESIGN) gets a face lift!

The mother ship has taken some time out to get a new coat of paint put on. seyDoggy.com, our little known parent site (and owners, lest we forget), has had a facelift in order to fight the obvious signs of aging. Yes it was time. The old girl was sporting a skin that was a throwback to 2005 (how embarrassing).

The new clothes that seyDoggy.com has donned is in preparation for an upcoming site launch that seyDoggy played a big part in. It seemed only fitting to announce this upcoming great new site from one that is as equally great. Stay tuned for more on this "new site" news.

Your questions and comments are always appreciated so don't be affraid to let us know what you think about the new seyDoggy.com

For those of you patiently waiting for more news concerning the upcoming seyDesign 2008 launch and the soon to be released Tuo update, please hang tight. We have a busy schedule at seyDoggy and we are addressing every ones needs in turn. I will have more news as it becomes available.

Tuo is seeing new horizons

The one and only, the original, first commercially available theme with split navigation is currently on the operating table undergoing some fairly major surgery... yet again. From it's early days in the spotlight as "Duo" it's first major transformation came when the code base was rewritten from scratch to bring the more stable, more feature rich "Tuo".

Soon after that came the major overhaul required to bring Tuo up to RapidWeaver 3.6 compatibility again bringing greater functionality to the already great layout. Now in preparation of the seyDesign.com site relaunch, we are taking yet another look at Tuo and what can be done to make it better and more flexible.

So how does variable with, variable header height, FULL color control sound to you? I thought you might like the sound of that. We have started from scratch (for real) and remapped this theme from start to finish. I think you'll like what's in store for this old girl.

Stay tuned.
