Walken on Water ∞

Posted by Chris at 8:03 AM on July 19th, 2010

1 in 8 people do not have access to clean, safe drinking water.

Frankly, I consider that unacceptable.

Now’s the time to change things. I’ve teamed up with good friends Yaron Schoen, Rogie King, and my Services Director at Lift, Brad Miller (aka Christopher Walken) to bring you the very first Dribbble community drive for charity:water.

We’re giving away over 25 Dribbble invites in a raffle that aims to raise $5,000 to build a well for communities that don’t have access to clean drinking water.

Help us Out

So far, we’ve raised over $800 over the weekend and have no doubt you’re going to help us get all the way to our $5,000 goal within the next week or two. Getting involved is so easy. Here are your options:

  1. If you have a Dribbble account, post a comment or “like” the dribbble shot.
  2. Retweet the campaign.
  3. Write a blog post with a link to the campaign.

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven.

IMPORTANT: Upgrading from earlier versions of Gallery requires removal of /gallery/ theme folder due to removal of page templates in prior versions of Gallery.
IMPORTANT: Gallery 1.2 only works with Thematic 0.9.5. Make sure to download and upgrade to Thematic 0.9.5 first.

Gallery is a beautiful showcase-style WordPress theme built on the Thematic framework as a child theme.

Widescreen Video Embedding with Simple Video Embedder Plugin


Thanks to Jason Schuller’s easy-to-implement video embedding plugin, Gallery now supports video embedding from popular video sites like YouTube and Vimeo, even allowing you to add your own custom code if not supported. This is an awesome addition to Gallery and I even created a new icon for posts with video so you can differentiate between regular posts and video posts. You will want to download Simple Video Embedder from Press75.com to take advantage of this beautiful plugin. I believe it is also available from WordPress.org, so you can install this via the WordPress admin, just search for the title and off you go.

Theme Options

The theme options page currently allows modification of the number of days a post is considered “new.” This is currently the only option, but will be expanded upon in future releases.
