An Interesting WordPress Plugin, Need Feedback From WP Users

**Dave Zan** · 06-20-2006, 10:32 PM

I just discovered this interesting plugin called "Canvas":

http://www.freshpursuits.com/canvas/

I'm just uploading the plugin. Currently having trouble getting it to work.

I'd just like to ask the resident WordPress users (especially experts) how it's
like using it, if any.

Thanks!

Like every program that tells you 'change your website without ever touching a line of code' I am sure this one is the same.

There is nothing like actually chnaging the code of your page to make it look how you want.

Canvas seems like it can do simple things, and complicated things. The simple things will probably work very well and sometimes more convient then actually messing with the code.

However, for drastic layout changes, this is not the way to go. It is that simple.

There are loads of wordpress layouts out there, I am sure there is something that would fit your needs so you don't have to use something like this.

*note, I have not used 'Canvas' this is just my opinion of this type of program in general

i used a beta of this for my personal blog. it looked very slick and worked ok. but when it came to theming it ended up being more work then traditional theme stuff.

i think i need to wait until it gets more developed and better mods/themes come out for it.

it has a LOT of potential
