A note about compatibility and css3 selectors
The Journal template takes advantage of a few different css3 seelctors that will render flawlessly in all modern and intelligent browsers - namely firefox, safari, chrome and opera. However, the rounded edges and text shadow on some of the elements will not display in internet explorer 6, internet explorer 7 or internet explorer 8.
Rather than add extra javascript or convert these features to image based solutions we have chosen to allow these features to degrade gracefully. This in effect means that the shadow on the text will not display and nor will the rounded edges on the social icons and read more buttons.
For more information regarding the philosophy behind graceful degradation or progressive enhancement in web design please read this post on A list apart.
Lets get Social
The Journal template is built around some existing and one new Joomla Bamboo social networking modules plus the static social icons you can see on the top right corner of the page.
jLastFM
The jLastFm module is a new module to the Joomla Bamboo catalogue. It uses a jQuery script created by Jeroen Smeets that references your LastFM account and pulls the album covers of your Loved Track, Recent Tracks, Top Albums, albums played in the last 7 Days, last 3 Months, last 6 Months, last 12 Months and your overall history. You can also choose the number of album covers to display in the module.
jTweet
The jTweet module is our very popular twitter module for Joomla that is regularly given five start reviews on the Joomla extensions directory. You can view more information on the jTweet product page.
jFlickr
jFlickr is an easy to use Joomla flicky gallery that uses jQuery to display images from your flickr feed based on a wide variety of options. You can read more about jFlickr on the Joomla Bamboo main site.
Social Icons
The social icons you see on the top right hand corner of this page are controlled via the Journal template. For more information please view the documentation on the social buttons.

The Zen Grid framework gives you control over a few of the automated and sometimes unneeded elements in the Joomla core output. Depending on how you are using your site the following options may be handy for optimising your site just that little bit further.
Last Updated on Dec262010Tabs and slides modules
While we havent showcased the tabbed modules available on this demo they are still available for use. The tabs and their triggers appear on the page when you publish any module to the Tab1, Tab2, Tab3 or Tab4 position and the tab trigger titles are controlled in the template parameters. You can publish up to four individual modules to each tab position.
