[davidmead] !tell mapkyca I’m starting on a Known theme. Is there a best approach in overriding the bootstrap styles? I’ve copied the Solo theme as a base
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next

[voss] [davidmead] was thinking of starting on a new theme myself. I found something in the docs about how to start making a new theme, did you check that out for directions?

[davidmead] not yet [voss]. First thing I’m trying is the tabs in settings, as they’re overlapping
#
[davidmead] i will check it out though

[jgmac1106] [davidmead] in terms of new themes open issue to move from bootstrap to grid overall, the theme documentation isn't bad most just change a few colors and fonts

#
[davidmead] jgmac1106 I guess I’m looking to overhaul more stuff. things like <h1> appearing above, then below, nav depending on plugin or post type…as well as the colours 😉

[jgmac1106] davidmead you may want to figure out how to remove the link preview on Twitter, it basically repeates the tweet twice and unnecessarily attaches your u-photo to every post. Forget how I took it off

#
[davidmead] jgmac1106 I did like using [embed] in WP to show the tweet i’m responding to on the post, but the doubling down on Twitter is a little much

#
[voss] There's a switch in the config somewhere, to disable including permalinks when syndicating. I switched it off.
#
[voss] I don't need to link back to my origin post every time.

#
[jgmac1106] I still include my link but removed the unfurling

#
[davidmead] I want the permalink, but I want to use my own short domain (djm.click), and it unfurled. I’m so demanding 😉
#
[jgmac1106] but when it unfurls anyone in Twitter sees the same tweet twice, that is my issue

[voss] What's the benefit of using URL shorteners these days? I considered it a few times, but realising that it would be something I would have to support myself for eternity, quickly takes the convenience out of it for me.
