Scribbish (a theme for blogs)
Scribbish is a theme for Typo, Mephisto, and WordPress. In case you’re wondering what it looks like, wonder no more. I’m using it here on this site.
Its layout standardizes on a simple xhtml structure, blog entries are formatted using the hAtom microformat specification, and styles are separated into individual files which are included in the correct order, making it easier to control the cascade and to figure out ‘what-goes-where’.
Features
- uses the hAtom microformat specification
- minimalist style
- easy to modify!
License
Scribbish is released under the MIT license.

DeLynn Berry created the Mephisto version

Notes
The Mephisto version works with Mephisto 0.7 and up. There are a few things that are borked, but now that I’ve finally switched to Mephisto for all my Blahhging needs, I’ll get the kinds worked out real soon.
When using Scribbish for typo from svn, it will probably only work with edge-typo. To obtain the latest version of typo using subversion, see trac.typosphere.org/wiki/DownloadCurrent.
If you’re looking for older versions of Scribbish, scroll down a bit.
Installation
Typo
If you’re using Typo, good news! Scribbish is already built-in. If you prefer the DIY approach, allow me to facilitate: unpack the archive in the themes directory at the root of your typo application like so:
$ curl -O quotedprintable.com/assets/2007/2/17/scribbish-x.x.tar.gz $ tar -xzf scribbish-x.x.tar.gz
The Scribbish theme will now show up in the typo back-end under the ‘Themes’ tab. All you have to do is activate it.
Mephisto
From the design section of the Mephisto back-end, click ‘Import new theme’, browse for the ZIP, and upload it. When you upload a theme, it will not be applied automatically. You will need to do this through the themes interface.
Subversion access
You can check out the latest version of Scribbish from the subversion repository.
svn://visioni.st/themes/scribbish/trunk
The Mephisto version is in its own branch.
svn://visioni.st/themes/scribbish/branches/mephisto
