My brand new Ode site [Themes Demo]
It's hard to think of a clever site description.
Welcome to your new Ode site.
This is the 'content area message' section of the default theme. To edit this message, look for the content_area_message div in the 'page' theme file.
You can change this message, delete the section entirely, or otherwise customize the look and layout of the page by editing the theme. (Of course, you can also create your own themes.)

The purpose of this post is to present a range of different styles so that you can get a better sense for how the theme handles specific elements, e.g. headings, links, images, ...
I'll be adding examples over time.

If you're seeing this message in your browser and everything looks ok to you (theme wise) then you're either done installing Ode or you're very close to being finished. Congratulations on getting this far :)
That wasn't so hard, was it? (If it was, let know about whatever problems you ran into by sending an email to rob @ ode-is-simple dot com).
Still having problems?
Start posting to your site.
Remember that posts are plain text files under Ode's document directory ending with the the post file extension. (The default post file extension is 'txt'.) You can use any plain text editor you like to create posts for your Ode site.
Ode treats the first line of the file as the title of the post and everything after the first line as the body.
I recommend leaving a blank line between the title and body but this isn't required.
You may want to wait until I get the documentation online before you really start to settle in (so that you have a better idea about what you're settling into).
In addition to the single two column theme included with the initial release I will be posting simple one and three column designs shortly.
One of the goals of this project is to blur the line between developer and expert end-user. To that end I'd like to invite everyone with an interest in the project to write your own addins, or otherwise pitch in and help with the development efforts.
This requires two things:
- An understanding of how Ode works
- Some knowledge of the Perl language and general programming concepts
This is the sidebar
The sidebar consists of blocks (like this one).
This is a simple two column theme called 'logic'.
You have the main content area over there on the left, and the sidebar here on the right.
This is another sidebar block
You can create as many blocks as you like. (Just copy this one and change the text.)
I support the open web
This site is proudly running Ode (a simple publishing platform for the web).
