I never understand why upgrading to the newer HemingwayEx is such a hassle. This is the second time I’ve attempted it now (once more on 1.0) and I just now gave up.
What is happening is that I get the theme to work, I can change the colours just fine and switch to finally using widgets, but for some reason I can’t get the suckerfish dropdown to work and I keep running into various other problems (like my gallery losing its theme etc).
It wouldn’t be such a great problem if I knew where to start but what is happening is making me scratch my head. Specifically, even drop-downs start to work once I put the code in, they get hidden behind the background. That is, I can see the dropdown menu appearing (the top of it) but its somehow placed behind the main content and even expanding the navigation does not make it appear. Grrr
Anyway, it’s too much bother to figure out what is causing this so I’ll stay with my current version which still seems to be working fine. I will however attempt to widgetize it and perhaps upload it as a different version from HemingwayEx. I’ve aready created a sourceforge page for it (waiting approval still) and then possibly more people might be willing to help.
It only annoys me that I spent so much time on it and I still couldn’t get it to work as the current version.
Hi there,
I'm also trying to get suckerfish dropdown to work with the latest version of HemX but in vein.
You mention that you posted your code somewhere on sourceforge, where about? I'd loved to have a look at it.
Great blog btw.
cheers,

Unfortunately Sourceforge turned down my theme. For now I am hosting it on a personal svn server. Which part of the code would you like to see? All of it? If so contact me via email and I'll let you know where to pick it up.
