My very first and most popular theme, a predecessor of Slate and the others in the Scattered Series. The Header image was taken by my wife Sara Cameron .
Use ‘Project Home’ for support
Wrath of the Titans
Not a movie I would normally see in the theatre but Sara and I saw it last night with friends none-the-less. It was entertaining and I can’t…
WOW! This theme is awesome; especially with the Gallery mix:) I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time!! But what I can’t figure out is what goes where:( These things confuse me to no end.
I’ll do a caricature if you’d like to install it for me. That would ease my mind alot. Let me know

After installing and activated the theme, I got this message:
Warning: main(htmlcode.dat): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/pagmatic/public_html/wp/wp-content/themes/S2a/index.php on line 6

What file is the plugin file?
email me.
[...] Para los que le gustó este nuevo tema que habilité, les cuento que está creado por Dan Cameron y desde su páginapueden bajárselo. Siempre me gustó el estilo del blog de Rodolfo Pilas pero no sabÃÂa que se trataba de un tema
pensé que habÃÂa editado el css de alguno que wordpress trae por defecto Asi es que miré su código y pude ver que se llamaba Scattered y bueno, por ahàllegué a encontrarlo. No funciona bien en mi server y creo que es por problemas con la publicidad que se ve por ahÃÂ, que debe estar porque es gratis el servicio y bueno, por culpa de ese banner no permite que se vea como debiera el blog.

hi!
i have just found your great theme. thx
but i expierienced some probs while installing it. i got the following error:
“Warning: main(): SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 2128 is not allowed to access /usr/sausalito/ui/web/post.php owned by uid 0 in /home/.sites/74/site813/web/wordpress/wp-content/themes/S2a/index.php on line 9

I have got your theme working fine for worpress but i dont have a tmeplates directory ot put the gallery files in … can you help me ?
You will need to read the directions. You must install Gallery 1 or 2 first. If you have gallery 2 you will need to wait until i realease an update since the Gallery team has changed thier scheme.
Thanks Dan … I have Gallery two installed … I read the instructions I think it is all to do with Gallery having changed it up as there is no folder named /template in the gallery install. I did find after a little looking around on your site instructions on how to make the wp theme into the gallery theme but if your theme is integrated even better as that means as i evolve your wonderfully theme and make it more my own the gallery one will update also right !! which is awesome … I have a WP2GALLERY plugin that doesn’t seem to work that well and doesn’t make putting images from gallery in WordPress any easier .. but i am guessing neither does yours? as that is admin changes to the ‘write’ area of the dashboard.
anyway .. i like your theme regardless and with gallery integration and WordPress doing pages .. what else do you need !
I really hope as well i haven’t been dumb here and your theme is already up to date.
[...] Spent the rest of the day adding some snazz to this site. Seems to have become kind of an obsession for me. Bits of this site have been ruthlessly lifted from Dan Cameron’s brilliant Scattered theme, others from Ben De Groot’s Out There. [...]
for an amazon plugin i am trying to install when you create a page .. you need to be able to select a template from a drop down menu .. when running this theme i don’t get that option … can this be fixed .. how owuld i or how is it done ?
still not sure about the gallery integration … i dont know whats not working for me with the error i get ..
Hello Dan!
Greetings from Germany! It’s a great theme!! Are there any PSD or PNG-Files? I want to replace the header pic and use some other colors. Is this possible? Could I get this files?
Thank you
Best wishes
Markus
No sorry, but you can still edit the images in PS if you wish.
Hi Dan, first off thanks for the great theme. I am using it for our family site (I will send the link if you like, just don’t want the world stopping by). I also just noticed you released Slate, very nice also.
I am trying to adapt Scattered 2a into a 3 column extravaganza. Any thoughts how this can be accomplished? I always end up with the left and right column on the correct sides… below the main body. Please help!
3 columns are evil.
tell me about it… I feel like I am reinventing the wheel…
Yeah I really don’t like 3-columns at all. But if you want to make the theme 3-columns, all the power to you. I would check out the theme codex and look at the code they are using; look specifically at the Kubrick 3-column versions.
Good luck.
Ha, I was mostly just kidding about them being evil… but seriously, good luck to you.
Thanks for the tip. Now I know where to look! Thanks once again for the great theme… if I pull it off I will be sure to share.
Hi Dan,
Over at http://beta-lab.thusgaard.com I’m trying to make the SCATTERED theme that you entered into Alex King’s competition work with IE. I know you hate IE, and I can’t blame you. I’m currently viewing your site in one of the (great) tabs of the (fantastic) new Firefox 1.5.
However, Thusgaard.com happens to be a family site and I just don’t want to cut off my entire family over a browser.
I’ve seen it work elsewhere :
http://www.blogocentricity.com
http://www.fourfax.co.uk/wordpress/
These two sites seem to work in IE. Do you have any idea what’s different in those two sites that make them work when the one I currently have on my domain doesn’t work at all (with IE)??
I very much appreciate any time you throw into sending me a solution (or pointing me towards one).
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Jakob
I love your theme!! The picture in the header is amazing! I was wondering if you offer this theme in a three column form?
the people want 3 column. But knowing where Dan stands on this, we can only dream.
maybe, just a maybe but only for slate.
okay! I was just wondering. Thanks for the info and keep up the great work!
[...] With WordPress 2.0 looming large on the horizon, I wait with bated breath. Will the theme I’m using work with it? Will the plugins I am using work with it? Will I have a painful time restoring all functionalities? [...]
Hi everybody
I need help with the text that pops up (hover) on the category lists. Please help me
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Awesome theme! I would like to implement it, but need a way to display a java script photo gallery that takes up all of the width of the theme (do not have room for the sidebar). What code needs to be changed to have a blank page (keeping the ‘header’ ‘footer’ sections) but eliminating the side bar? Thank in advance!

If you make a wide column div class and create a new background for that class that would do it.
Great theme.. Having some problems getting gallery and the actual homepage to display properly.. Its displaying fine within firefox but not soo well within IE.
Any help would be muchly appreciaited.

Well that’s IE for ya.
Just wanted to say thanks for this nice theme. I had some minor problems displaying it within firefox, because the design seemed to bounce when I moved with my mouse over the links. But this is ok now – and anyway, your design is terrific.
This is great layout for a theme! I was reading the comments here and noticed the post by Eric from USF. After noticing how he made his header image random, I was wondering if you could offer any advice on how the rest of us can make that change also or point us in the right direction as to what would be needed! Thanks in advance! Great Work!

I was very excited to have found scattered. It was exactly the type of template i had envisioned for my new blog. Unfortunately it does not display images in the sidebar or footer in any browser other than Firefox. The theme has no problems displaying the header or images in posts so I cannot accept that this is a problem with Internet explorer rather than the template’s coding.
I hope This issue is resolved someday because this would be a great template if it ws fully functional.

hello dan. i recent became an converted wordpress user and have really like the themes you created. they are clean cut and the layout is intuitive. i am having trouble uploading some to the files to my isp. it seems that i cannot upload files that are named “.ds_store” [slate and scattered 2 theme], “wrapper.footer.default”, and “wrapper.header.default” [scattered 1 theme] is there away around this? thanks for the help and keep up with the good work.
I believe those wrapper files are for the gallery integration of old. Don’t worry about the ds store file that’s just a remnant of the zip. Otherwise I would recommend a new host.
Hey, Im trying to integrate gallery2, and it seems to be different now. There isnt a gallery/templates/ directory in my gallery2 installation. Maybe they changed it? Any thoughts?
Same problem here
couldn’t integreat the gallery v2.1.2 cause i cannot find the folder gallery/templates 
Gallery support was taken out since gallery released a newer versions that my integration doesn’t support.
Love the Theme! I’m a bit of WP rookie, and I’m having a hard time customizing it the way I would like – but this has all the trappings of being able to do exactly what I’m wanting!
Is there a way to get some of the plug-ins into the side bar? For example the shoutbox, Flickr, etc.?
Thanks for the great work – I look forward to re-releasing my blog on the unsuspecting public soon.
I should really add sidebar widget support but in the meantime just download them your self and place the code in the sidebar.php file.
Hey, thankds for the great template.
How do I get rid of the black box with the site name in it? (cincy report)
I don’t want it.

Ok, here’s what I really need to do, now.
I need to get my blog title down and that supernav stuff up.
please visit my site and tell me how to do this.
