It’s been such a pleasure to work with the folks at Dirty Blue Media. We might have thought the name was a little weird at first (there’s an interesting story behind the name, just ask them) but the service and expertise just blew us away. As you’ll soon find out, the name’s not what’s important anyway – the quality is what counts! As a multi-venture entrepreneur, I absolutely love marketing and advertising, not to mention just about every area of business…but there are only so many hours in a day. I needed help. What I got was a great team, because that’s where Dirty Blue came in.

I found an exceptional and successful blend: their web artists really listened to what I wanted and needed, and then gave me their professional feedback and creative ideas. They really understood what I was looking for – and then made it better – much better. The results? A professional website that excited my users, raised my search engine ranking by leaps, gave me razor sharp branding, established my product niche, and helped me sell our very special product, fast, and in a very competitive market, too. Wow. We couldn’t have done it without Dirty Blue. Oh, and not to mention the improved reliability of our website over the “big name” server we used to have and the fact that Dirty Blue beat the tar out of the big guys’ prices. No worries, great service, sharp presentation, and consistent branding. An absolutely fantastic value. Thanks, Dirty Blue!

DIRTY BLUE MEDIA LAUNCHES NEW IDAHO CONSTITUTION PARTY WEBSITE

Visit Website

Coeur d’Alene, ID – Dirty Blue Media LLC, the Coeur d’Alene based web and graphics design and development company has just launched a new website for the Idaho State Constitution Party. The new Idaho State Constitution Party website features:

• Content Management System
• Syndicated News and Commenting
• Automated thumbnail generation for article images
• Multiple contact forms and ajax validation
• Built in ad management
• Random quotes in the footer, that are controlled in the admin

J.J. Honeycutt, Co-Principal of DBM says that, “The Idaho State Constitution Party wanted a website that was graphically appealing and “up with the times”. They envisioned a website that was easy to navigate, extremely organized, well laid out, and graphically appealing. They also wanted a website that was built using a Content Management System (CMS) in order to ease the pain of constantly adding and editing content. The Idaho State Constitution Party was more than happy with the end result. They even commented how our product far exceeded their expectations.”

J.J. also stated that, “DIRTY BLUE MEDIA understands how larger political campaigns are tapping into the power of Internet marketing and social networking. We saw a few pioneering political websites and online marketing campaigns in this last election. The trend that was established in 2008 was that most successful political campaigns need a strong web presence. Unfortunately, many of today’s political websites are still using obsolete design theory and web development. Our goal was to update and bring some of these modern features and functionalities to the Idaho Constitution Party website and I think we accomplished that well.”

The home page idea of older posts fading and shrinking was entirely influenced by Darren Hoyt’s Agregado Theme.

The background images are courtesy of Wolfgang Bartelme’s Solid Wood Devkit.

We love Wordpress. But not in “that” kind of way.

The comment box editor is a built in WMD Editor plugin by Chad Coleman. Removed in Version 1.5

Shadowbox is also built in. Just add rel=”shadowbox” to any link tag. You can find more tricks on usage at the shadowbox site.

Theme Options Page Requires Saving For Theme To Work After Installation!

Due to so many comments coming in about the theme “not working” or “not showing posts”, I must make this a rather large note. After uploading and activating the theme, you must go to the sidebar in your admin center and click APPEARANCE > DESKSPACE OPTIONS and hit the save button. This writes the data to the database and presents the theme with your chosen options.

Release Notes

Version 1.0
It launches. After one day, we received some constructive criticism via our twitter friends.

1. “It sucks. Start over”. We’ll have to take that one with a grain of salt.
2. “The background fading to white is a bit too stark.” So we figured we’ll update the file with a fixed background image. Which brings us to version 1.1 now available for download.

Version 1.1
Applied a “fixed” background image. Let us know what you think.
Added max-width restriction to images used in posts.
Updated archive.php to inform the viewer what date, tag, or category they are viewing.

Version 1.5 June 16th, 2009

1. Advanced Theme Settings Page
2. New Front Page Layout Control: Default, Page or Blog Posts
3. Page Navigation Tabs
4. Threaded Comments
5. Bug Fix Jan. 7th 2010 – We corrected the page inclusion in the theme options for the themes navigation.
