Recommended plugins

Dylan doesn’t rely upon any plugins in order to work, but there are a few key plugins which enhance WordPress and are therefore recommended.

* A note about Sociable

To make sociable look great, you may have to edit the (bloated) CSS file it comes with.

  1. div.sociable { margin: 16px 0; }
  2.  
  3. span.sociable_tagline { position: relative; }
  4. span.sociable_tagline span { display: none; width: 14em; }
  5. span.sociable_tagline:hover span {
  6. position: absolute;
  7. display: block;
  8. top: -5em;
  9. background: #ffe;
  10. border: 1px solid #ccc;
  11. color: black;
  12. line-height: 1.25em;
  13. }
  14. .sociable span {
  15. display: block;
  16. }
  17. .sociable ul {
  18. display: inline;
  19. margin: 0 !important;
  20. padding: 0 !important;
  21. }
  22. .sociable ul li {
  23. background: none;
  24. display: inline !important;
  25. list-style-type: none;
  26. margin: 0;
  27. padding: 1px;
  28. }
  29. .sociable ul li:before { content: ""; }
  30. .sociable img {
  31. float: none;
  32. width: 16px;
  33. height: 16px;
  34. border: 0;
  35. margin: 0;
  36. padding: 0;
  37. }
  38.  
  39. .sociable-hovers {
  40. opacity: .4;
  41. -moz-opacity: .4;
  42. filter: alpha(opacity=40);
  43. }
  44. .sociable-hovers:hover {
  45. opacity: 1;
  46. -moz-opacity: 1;
  47. filter: alpha(opacity=100);
  48. }

So that it looks like this:

  1. div.sociable{
  2. clear: both;
  3. }
  4. div.sociable li{
  5. float: left;
  6. list-style: none;
  7. margin: 0;
  8. padding: 0;
  9. }
  10. Download this code: sociable.css
