As a Typo user and someone who is asthetically impaired I just want to say thank you for everyone who particpated in the Typo Theme Contest.
The winners have been announced and they deserve all the great prizes that are being handed out.
A few weeks back, before the end of the contest, I chose one of the submissions for my latest theme. I really liked the Lush theme. Marco van Hylckama Vlieg did an incredible job and deserved better than 8th place. I don’t really understand some of the higher place winners, but I’m glad not everyone shares my tastes either.
This is good for everyone! Now, if only these themes had all been made accessible as well! That’s the main change I have planned for Lush on this site.

I just updated my recent post on adding feeds per category in Typo. If you had trouble getting my modified files, take a look again. I'll be submitting them as patches soon, but need to look at the main categories template a little more considering the new default css in the Typo trunk.

I've been playing with Typo even more and I'm loving it. Just look how good the new logo looks! That's the most important thing!
I thought I was going to have to start from scratch adding per-category syndicated feeds, but luckily someone had already submitted a patch. Unfortunately, the patch only set up the xml_controller routing (the meat of the feature). So, I modified the categories list to provide syndication links for each category. Then I edited the syndication view code itself to include the category in the link, title, and descriptions so all the feeds for a blog don't have the same info/link.
I'm going to clean it all up a little more and submit as a patch, but will provide those files here if anyone is interested:
Make sure an apply the patch above for this to work
Update: I fixed one of the links here and added some clarifying information for anyone who had trouble getting these files. Also, the _categores.rhtml template looks especially hokey in the new default css in the typo trunk, so it definitely has to change now.
