There are currently three types of Pages you can create:</p> <ul> <li> <b>Standard Layout. </b>Create a simple page with a <i>title</i> and <i>body</i> using your current theme.</li> <li> <b>Custom Layout. </b>Create a page with a completely separate layout.</li> <li> <b>Redirect.</b> Forward a route to a page on another domain.

The game gives homage to classic video games, with a twist—instead of enhancing the player, power ups in the game enhance the resolution of the world around him. <a href="http://mimeoverse.com/">Check out the homepage</a> and hit refresh a few times for a sample.</p> <p>The app is being developed under a <a href="http://createhere.org/blog/meet_the_2009_makework_grant_recipients/">MakeWork grant</a> and should be available by the holidays. I’ve had the privilege of seeing some of the design over the past month on <a href="http://dribbble.com/session/new">Dribbble</a>, and I gotta say: The details are going to be fantastic. Check Shaun’s Flickr for a <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/shauninman/tags/mimeo/">nice little video archive</a> of the game’s progress.</p> </blockquote><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/oscarpalmer/~4/dlRoGpIz1KY" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/oscarpalmer/~3/dlRoGpIz1KY/409356751http://log.oscarismy.name/post/409356751Wed, 24 Feb 2010 18:40:00 +0100http://log.oscarismy.name/post/409356751When I don’t have anything important to do I usually sit in my comfy chair thinking about things...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/oscarpalmer/~4/OLiYyRBdAEI" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/oscarpalmer/~3/OLiYyRBdAEI/407642342http://log.oscarismy.name/post/407642342Tue, 23 Feb 2010 23:01:14 +0100notebookssillynerdhttp://log.oscarismy.name/post/407642342“It’s true that there’s a lot of Flash content out there.
