Hello beloved theme community! Long time no see! Since June I've been quite busy, I've:
- Moved from China to Arizona, to California, to Utah!
- Done some freelance Moodle theme work
- Started LMS MarketPlace: a place to purchase plugins and services from vendors
- Rebuilt the engine on a 2008 KLR650
- And most significantly I've begun employment at Instructure working with Canvas
You read that correctly. That's two developers that either Elegance has forced into the arms of Instructure or Instructure has snatched away from the development of Elegance (depends on your perspective). So what does that mean?
I will be ceasing development and support on Elegance- and most likely all my officially maintained Moodle plugins.
I'll still be operating my LMS MarketPlace so if you're a vendor, don't worry there.
I'll probably still play around with Moodle and release some stuff but much more unofficially. I'd like to be clear that this isn't a requirement of the job, but more the reality of my availability of time- I'll have time to play and that's about it.
In fact, here's an optimization of render_custom_menu() to add the 'my courses' menu item

When I get another minute I'll drop my code for CSS only background sliders on the login page (from Tympanus) - it works really well!
I wish nothing but the best for the Moodle community- and the theme developers especially, and want to thank all of you who have guided/taught/mentored/helped me as I developed my Moodle chops.
