[Soma]

I just went ahead and did what I wanted to do since a long time. 

Yesterday at this time there was nothing. Now there's this:

http://soma.urlich.ch/

My old portfolio, taking dust, is gone for good! Now I have new shiny blog. Starting with zero, this took a couple hours to setup a complete custom blog. I'm still working out details here and there and adding new stuff I still want to. But what I need and wanted is there now roughly.

Some things used in this ProcessWire site:

- ModulesManager (of course)

- Hanna Code

- Repeaters (for the inline code snippets added to content by some Hanna code)

- Rainbow JS for the highlighting (http://craig.is/making/rainbows/)

- PW Comments Core module

- RSS Feed Core module

- Markup Twitter Feed (http://modules.processwire.com/modules/markup-twitter-feed/)

- Pocketgrid (there's no good grid system other than this http://arnaudleray.github.io/pocketgrid/)

- FontAwesome Icon Font

No frameworks used except PW.

I hope I'll find time to write some things about web dev in general and ProcessWire. Hope you step by now and then.

Soma Great,

Don't forget to mention some of your gists

Hi Soma,

I like your blog. Good job

If you add a feature to follow your blog posts/ PW tutorials I'll be there

 - Pocketgrid (there's no good grid system other than this http://arnaudleray.g....io/pocketgrid/)

Searching a long time for a good grid solution, but already after a first look at PocketGrid... awesome! 

Many thanks!

[Soma]

Thanks guys.

@martijn, yes I added some more links

@xeto, just added a RSS feed. Let me know if it works out for you.

[Craig]

Looks excellent! I think I'll go and add the RSS feed to my reader

[Macrura]

Looking great Soma! Can't wait to start reading your posts. I hope they will be many

Completely personal preference, but I think that with .block-group{margin-top:-15px} and .masthead{padding-bottom:5px} the blog would look even better.

He did it. Just subscribed and looking forward to your posts.

let the leech begin !

nice, already subscribed via rss.

maybe use overflow: auto for the <pre>?

[diogo]

Manfred, that doesn't happen to me

[Manfred62]

you're right... Tested in latest Chrome and Safari - no problem.

Only in actual Firefox and Firefox beta I have this behaviour. A bug?

What Browser?

This is handled by the Rainbow JS CSS with word-wrap: break-word; which will wrap long lines.

[diogo]

I can confirm the problem in Firefox.

[pwFoo]

Works fine with Chrome (line break) and get a scrollbar in Firefox 26.0. Text not break out of the layout...

[Soma]

I added overflow: auto for the poor ones , jk

Not sure what's better, but will let it for now.

[Soma]

Thanks guys for all the great feedback.

I've been adding some new stuff and working on many details. I updated my first post with what is used.

I've also added a fix for the overflow issue in pre code boxes:

white-space: pre-wrap; /* css-3 */
white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; /* Mozilla, since 1999 */
white-space: -pre-wrap; /* Opera 4-6 */
white-space: -o-pre-wrap; /* Opera 7 */
word-wrap: break-word;

Thanks for those who decided to follow my blog already, so I just need to write something interesting. But that makes it more fun when you know people are watching.
