MONOTONE http://monotonedemo.wordpress.com Tue, 10 Jun 2008 19:14:41 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=MU en Welcome to Monotone http://monotonedemo.wordpress.com/2008/04/23/welcome-to-monotone/ http://monotonedemo.wordpress.com/2008/04/23/welcome-to-monotone/#comments Wed, 23 Apr 2008 19:45:08 +0000 noel http://monotonedemo.wordpress.com/?p=39

This is Monotone.

Monotone is a simple yet dynamic theme for photo-blogging. The layout is clean and non-intrusive, but the way it handles images makes each entry unique (and requires no intervention to do so).

You can now use it on .ORG blogs too (download here).

Monotone takes the first image attached to a post and samples colors from it for use in the surrounding layout. 

Each post needs to contain one image, and optionally, any text you want. The theme does the rest, pulling colors out of and resizing the images for use in the design.

You can use the visual or the HTML editor in wordpress to input your image and supporting text.

Enjoy Monotone, and please, let us know what you think!

(Want to see a video of how to post an image?)

Download Monotone for self-hosted .ORG blogs (monotone-v1.zip)

Monotone was a collaboration between eight6 and Automattic.

A beautiful golden temple, located in Kyoto, called Kinkaku-ji. It sits on a small lake/pond with beautiful fish and great scenery. It’s a cliché tourist spot, but beautiful.

Electric City is one of the most fun and wild places in Japan. They block off the streets and hundreds of people roam around gobbling up electronics.
