Another Minimahl update
We’ve been thrilled with the response, email, and business we’ve gotten through the release of Minimahl. It is very flattering to see it all over the place. We honestly didn’t think it would have this kind of repercussion. Thank you for choosing it.
Yesterday I got an email from a guy named Peter saying that he was using Minimahl to sell his 1971 Westfalia Weekender. When I checked out the website, I was amazed at the work he had done customizing Minimahl to his needs. You can check out Peter’s website here.
Peter’s adaptation of Minimahl is along the top five we’ve seen so far, at least according to our criteria. We hope it helps him sell the bus!
Minimahl 0.9.8 is still under development, but I can’t estimate how long it will take us to finish it since we have other priorities at the moment.
In other news, we’ve been very busy redesigning our own website which should be ready either tomorrow or on Monday, as well as working on our client’s projects and tasks. Look out for that new design soon and make sure to give us some feedback!

Hello there – I can see that Peter has been able to change both “categories” and “archive” into “For Sale” and “Explore the bus”. How do I make this change? I need to change it into my own language, but can’t figure out what script/page “Categories” and “Archive” is at. Please help!
Hi Brian,
To do this, open sidebar.php.
On line 12, you’ll see the word “Archive” in the middle of some code. Replace only that word for your translation.
On lines 19 and 23, you’ll find the same code wrapped in other PHP code. Just replace the word “Categories” for your translation.
In both cases, sans the quotes =)
All the best,
Daiver
Also, you might want to consider reducing the size of the blog title to make room for the extra menu items and prevent the line from breaking.
You can do this by editing stylee.css.
Find this:
#header h1 { float: left; font-size: 80px; letter-spacing: -0.1em; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding-right: 10px; }
Replace font-size: 80px; for something like font-size: 60px;
That should do it ;)
Thank you!
No problem!
I have one more question though. The date format is in English – Can I change this? For example – It says: May 7 2009. I tried changing it in the settings in the admin panel, but it does not register the change
Open up page.php and find:
< ?php the_time('F j Y'); ?>
You can play around with those parameters.
