The Dark Typewriter Template Numéro 3

The Dark Typewriter Template Numéro 3 has been released.

The picture you see is that of Kathy Paysen. The most gifted poetess in American English. Don’t forget to read my feature on her. Web address is : http://www.theemperoroftexas.com/2012/07/todays-feature-kathy-paysen.html.

Amendments: decorative (change the layout slightly), is now compatible with Blogger’s new image overlay (click the image to see), with the extra likes/share buttons under the posts, is now 100% compatible with Blogger’s new template designer introduced in 2010 using the “Advanced”-tab, including all the under-the-hood features.

The layout remains static at 1024 * 768 pixels. By now, almost all computers, have at least this resolution. 800 * 600 is starting to be something of the past. It looks good even on higher resolution. Not really needed to change it. Meaning it gives you a nice edging on the sides. Looks good. It can easily be changed from within the template itself to a different resolution. Only minor scripting skills are necessary here. This is explained within the template itself.

If you think the template must remain dark. This is not the case. You can  within a couple of seconds completely adapt it to your colors. Everything of it!

It can be downloaded via this link:

History of DTT:

► I tweaked the template Minima Black which was originally called Dark Minima designed by Douglas Bowman. It’s such a great design he did!

Blogger changed its interface slightly with new templates. So, now was the time for a new adaptation. I changed it significantly. Also in design. My new name for it is the Dark Typewriter Template.

The most important new feature, besides it being three ways, is that you can use it with Blogger’s template designer introduced in 2010 using the “Advanced”-tab. With it you can fully customize the fonts, sizes, colors, hyperlinks from within the template designer WHEREVER YOU WANT + many more changes. I added many more variables that can be customized. More than thirty in total.

To change the screen layout you will still have to edit the template itself. As you see it is 200px + 470px + 260px for a 1024 * 768 layout. Margin is 12px. Just basic scripting skills are needed here. I didn't manage doing that. I compared the new templates and extracted what I could understand. The new screen layout is not really compatible.

Basically it’s meant to look Oldskool and still be able to comply with the sharing networks and Blogger's new adjustments. It’s meant to last a little while. It’s meant to look ASCII kind of style, not flashy or anything like that. It’s meant to look like an old text editor!

You can download the XML template via this link. You can read my article on it called ‘The Dark Typewriter Template II’ or my original article called ‘The Dark Typewriter Template!'

My XML template, as of 25.07.2012, was downloaded 411 times.

If you think the template must remain dark. This is not the case. You can within a couple of seconds completely adapt it your colors —everything of  it!— using the “Advanced”-tab of Blogger’s Template Designer introduced in 2010.

From Facebook :

Benoît liked Overhetij Amsterdam (Over het IJ festival 2012).

A new entry has been published on”the Texian Space Port for your Soul!”
It features today the one and only Kathy Paysen. ‘Cos she is such a talented poetess this entry is still in redaction. You can’t just write about her. You gotta read her poems and feel them. She is the embodiment of her poetry. It is classic American poetry in the light of the great American poets and writers.

She brings to life the English language as never before with typical American topics in times of economic hardship and love hardship, which usually go hand in hand.

She brings God back to daily life as if he never had disappeared and the 20th century never had existed.

She makes you feel like modernism is a very relevant topic, without all the setbacks of yesterday! It is heartfelt and truly searching for solutions to the madness of this world with simple day-to-day and family oriented themes as well as adult themes, such as love and despair and love.

Her poems should be mandatory in every class-room.
Her poetry is that of another level!

Don’t forget to read my entry on her and especially to read her poems on her poetry blog. She is looking for a publisher! So a helping hand can’t hurt dear readers.

That’s it for today folks. God Bless. Thank you for this Blessed day!

Today’s feature: Kathy Paysen

(Article is still in redaction…)

Reality art and author poetry is the best description for Kathy’s wonderful expression. Words fall short!

A true American not only in heart, also in practicality and love of God, love of the other, dating all the way back to the creation of the US, is troubled by the economic crisis and the devastation of what is all going around in the world simultaneously.

All this is an inspiration and reason for her poetry. So are her memories of her youth, in a very special era, that she conveys with us with her reality poetry.

So are a lot of other typical American themes to be found in her poetry. She writes in true American without making it feel like that.

She brings to life the English language as never before with typical topics concerning America in times of economic hardship and love hardship especially, which usually go hand in hand and gives them a meaning, a meaning of love.

She brings God back to daily life as if he never had disappeared and the 20th century never had existed.

I think they are American classics, HER POEMS. She goes beyond poetry by her sheer reality. She is the embodiment of her poetry. Art is, as she expresses it.

Dear readers these poems are for everybody. They should be mandatory in every class room. You should read them on her poetry blog: http://www.everypoet.net/poetry/blogs/kathy_paysen.

The US is at this moment in a severe economic crisis and she can feel it and she can WRITE!

Her poetry usually rhymes. Not in this one! This poem, I thought, though, is great for Ulysses V—the Gateway to the Staaaaaaars!

 

God's Axis, God's Gateway

Rose fire on meridians

Pulsing hearts scoping

Longitude into eternity

Latitude, self governed

God’s axis upon a tree

Two points intercepting

Right angles of infinity

Blossoming as the sun

Our nature into heaven

As stars of fixed night

Showing us the course

Singular visions budding

Into a galaxy of gardens

Lit blossoms for a quest

Born of an eternal flame

Bearers of the red rose

In, With, and Through

God’s gateway of love

 

July 2012, Kathy Paysen

Keywords: Inner and Outer Space Define Our Quest

 

The most gifted poetess in American English, dating all the way back to the creation of the US, ALSO wrote a letter to President Barack Obama. Don’t forget to read it on her poetry blog: http://www.everypoet.net/poetry/blogs/kathy_paysen/dear_president_obama_moral_stimulus_plan_2012.
