Hybrid postbit

Hybrid postbit

Function

Both the legacy and the classic postbit have their advantages. So why not combine them. The legacy itself sometimes seems to big with smaller posts.

This is how the hybrid postbit might look like.
[See screenshot]

Creativity is key.

Well it's up to people to use whatever phrase/function they like there.

You can create 100's of variations, add css classes, etc

this is just a framework to play with.

I like the idea. I tweaked mine a bit.

Thanks, this looks a really ingenuitive modification.
Of course some tweaking looks neccessary though. Installed.

You're right if you look at the live demo, it's also different. It's just the idea.

With small posts the legacy looks off a bit and the basic one isn't that cool so why not meet in the middle.

If people need help with tweaks just let me know

Drop in a screenshot or a link to a live demo of your final result !!!!!!!!!!
