Whenever I’ve used cufón, I’ve ALWAYS experienced a FOUC, otherwise known as a Flash of Unstyled Content. If you are experiencing the same issue, then this fix is definitely going to make you happy. I must give credit for the fix to Rogie King who worked it out like Jane Fonda in the 80s.
DesignFolio Plus Giveaway
Kyle Steed is offering up not just one, but five theme licenses for DesignFolio+, a WordPress portfolio theme for designers. This theme is currently available from ThemeForest for $30.SimpleCart(js), a Free WP E-commerce & Thematic Child Theme
SimpleCart(js) is a simple, attractive, and flexible WordPress theme that taps into the power of both Thematic and WP E-commerce. Features include AJAX cart functionality, a grid layout for products, and a flexible color scheme, easy to swap out images and completely customize the theme to your needs.
After putting this theme together for the WP E-commerce contest, I am happy to release the theme 100% free of charge. It is a port of the simpleCart(js) theme from the Wojo Group and was changed quite a bit due to its usage of Thematic and WP E-commerce, but I wanted to give credit to the creator, even if there are very few elements left from the original. One important note for this version, there is no link from the products on the homepage to the product info page, future versions will include one. Also, it should be fairly easy to add in there if you know what you’re doing.

East Coast Love
I will be attending a couple events over the next few weeks in the Southeastern part of the US and thought I would draw some attention to them. I will be in Atlanta for iPhone Camp on Saturday, the 18th, (hey, that’s tomorrow) and will also be making my way down to Tampa on the 30th for the Front-End Design Conference (held on the 31st). If you’re in either area, you should definitely try to attend either event or hit me up on twitter for an impromptu tweetup. I’ll be meeting up with David in Atlanta to see if I can get him to wear this awesome cow costume in a video for Designmoo.

Instinct, the company behind WP E-commerce, held a contest this past weekend to see who could reproduce simpleCart(js) built by the Wojo Group using a combination of WP E-commerce and Thematic for WordPress. I had the day off on Friday, so I thought I would take a crack at $240 and a chance to dig into WP E-commerce’s new template system. After two hours or so that morning, I sent it off to Dan Milward, ending up with this:
After the weekend was over, I found out that I did in fact win the competition! In addition, I will be releasing the simpleCart theme to the public and may be adding a few theme options as well.
