Template: Sticky

This is a sticky post.

There are a few things to verify:

  • The sticky post should be distinctly recognizable in some way in comparison to normal posts. You can style the .sticky class if you are using the post_class() function to generate your post classes, which is a best practice.
  • They should show at the very top of the blog index page, even though they could be several posts back chronologically.
  • They should still show up again in their chronologically correct postion in time, but without the sticky indicator.
  • If you have a plugin or widget that lists popular posts or comments, make sure that this sticky post is not always at the top of those lists unless it really is popular.

Cocktail – los origenes

Y siempre he sido y soy curiosa de los orígenes de las cosas, por ello, muchas veces inicio mi relación con ellas buscando su definición y origen.

Se define como cóctel una preparación a base de una mezcla de diferentes bebidas que normalmente incluye uno o más tipos de bebidas alcohólicas, aunque con la evolución y auge de la vida “healthy” hoy encontramos muchos de ellos que son mezclas sin ni una mínima cantidad de alcohol.

Nuestra amiga Wikipedia, dá también su opción de definición: Un cóctel o coctel (del inglés cocktail)​ es una preparación a base de una mezcla de diferentes bebidas, que contiene por lo general dos o más tipos de bebidas, aunque algunas de ellas pueden ser bebidas no alcohólicas, a base de ingredientes como jugos, frutas, miel, leche o crema, especias, etc. También son ingredientes comunes de los cócteles las bebidas carbonatadas o refrescos sin alcohol, la soda y el agua tónica.

Pero más allá de saber la definición , me gusta saber de donde procede la palabra Cóctel:

Préstamo del inglés cocktail, compuesto de cock y tail ‘cola’ y ‘gallo’, que inicialmente designaba un caballo al que cortaban un músculo de la cola de manera que esta se levantaba como la de un gallo. El término pasó a designar los caballos que no eran de pura raza y de la idea de mezcla pasó a utilizarse en Estados Unidos (s. XIX) para las bebidas alcohólicas compuestas por sustancias diferentes.

Aunque buscand y leyendo he podido encontrar encontrar leyendas e historias que hacen de su procedencia algo más divertida o extravagante.Dicen, que  durante la guerra de Independencia norteamericana, Betsy Flanagan trabajaba de camarera en una taberna de Yonkers. Ella tenía la costumbre de remover y decorar los combinados, de varias bebidas que preparaba y servía, con una vistosa pluma de la cola de un gallo. Un día, un soldado de origen francés, al probar el combinado que le acababa de preparar Betsy, gritó mezclando inglés y francés: “Vive le cock’s tail” (“Viva la cola de gallo”), frase que rápidamente se popularizó entre los soldados y, a partir de entonces, con esa palabra se pasó a designar genéricamente a todos los combinados de bebidas alcohólicas.

También se dice qué en el siglo XIX, en una farmacia de nueva Orleans un farmacéutico, llamado Antonio Peychaud, tenía como costumbre ofrecerles a sus amigos una bebidas preparadas en una huevera (coquetier) siguiendo una receta de sus islas natales a base de amargo, coñac, azúcar y especies. A esta bebida y sus formas de prepararlas se le llamó “coquetier”.

Y por último y más breve sin casi referencias dicen que en una mañana fría de un día normal se produjo un brindis dentro de una taberna, la mezcla de los licores produjo una reacción que llamó la atención alguien y  dijo : es más bello que los colores de la cola del gallo y la respuesta con una gran exclamación fué

“Viva el Cock-tail”.

Dejando atrás la cultura popular que no suele ser verificable por lo que difícilmente sabremos nunca la verdadera historia cierto es que la primera referencia de la palabra  se encuentra en la publicación británica The Morning Post, donde aparece en marzo de 1798 con guión de por medio refiriéndose supuestamente a una forma vulgar de llamar al jengibre. Y en 1803, en la publicación estadounidense The Farmer’s Cabinet se escribe por primera vez como una bebida probablemente no alcohólica. Otra aparición que destaca como inicial está fechada en mayo de 1806en la publicación “ The Balance and Columbian Repository.

Block: Image

Welcome to image alignment! If you recognize this post, it is because these are blocks that have been converted from the classic Markup: Image Alignment post. The best way to demonstrate the ebb and flow of the various image positioning options is to nestle them snuggly among an ocean of words. Grab a paddle and let’s get started. Be sure to try it in RTL mode. Left should stay left and right should stay right for both reading directions.

On the topic of alignment, it should be noted that users can choose from the options of None, Left, Right, and Center. If the theme has added support for align wide, images can also be wide and full width. Be sure to test this page in RTL mode.

In addition, they also get the options of the image dimensions 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% or a set width and height.

Image Alignment 580x300

The image above happens to be centered.

Image Alignment 150x150

The rest of this paragraph is filler for the sake of seeing the text wrap around the 150×150 image, which is left aligned.

As you can see the should be some space above, below, and to the right of the image. The text should not be creeping on the image. Creeping is just not right. Images need breathing room too. Let them speak like you words. Let them do their jobs without any hassle from the text. In about one more sentence here, we’ll see that the text moves from the right of the image down below the image in seamless transition. Again, letting the do it’s thang. Mission accomplished!

And now for a massively large image. It also has no alignment.

Image Alignment 1200x400

The image above, though 1200px wide, should not overflow the content area. It should remain contained with no visible disruption to the flow of content.

Image Alignment 300x200

And now we’re going to shift things to the right align. Again, there should be plenty of room above, below, and to the left of the image. Just look at him there… Hey guy! Way to rock that right side. I don’t care what the left aligned image says, you look great. Don’t let anyone else tell you differently.

In just a bit here, you should see the text start to wrap below the right aligned image and settle in nicely. There should still be plenty of room and everything should be sitting pretty. Yeah… Just like that. It never felt so good to be right.

And just when you thought we were done, we’re going to do them all over again with captions!

Image Alignment 580x300
Look at 580×300 getting some caption love.

The image above happens to be centered. The caption also has a link in it, just to see if it does anything funky.

Image Alignment 150x150
Itty-bitty caption.

The rest of this paragraph is filler for the sake of seeing the text wrap around the 150×150 image, which is left aligned.

Massive image comment for your eyeballs.

The image above, though 1200px wide, should not overflow the content area. It should remain contained with no visible disruption to the flow of content.

Image Alignment 300x200
Feels good to be right all the time.

And now we’re going to shift things to the right align. Again, there should be plenty of room above, below, and to the left of the image. Just look at him there… Hey guy! Way to rock that right side. I don’t care what the left aligned image says, you look great. Don’t let anyone else tell you differently.

Imagine that we would find a use for the extra wide image! This image has the wide width alignment:

Image Alignment 1200x4002

Can we go bigger? This image has the full width alignment:

Image Alignment 1200x4002

And that’s a wrap, yo! You survived the tumultuous waters of alignment. Image alignment achievement unlocked! One last thing: The last item in this post’s content is a thumbnail floated right. Make sure any elements after the content are clearing properly.

Block

Block: Button

Button blocks are not semantically buttons, but links inside a styled div. 

If you do not add a link, a link tag without an anchor will be used.

Check to make sure that the text wraps correctly when the button has more than one line of text, and when it is extra long.

Buttons have three styles: 

If the theme has a custom color palette, test that background color and text color settings work correctly. 

Now lets test how buttons display together with large texts.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Donec mollis. Quisque convallis libero in sapien pharetra tincidunt. Aliquam elit ante, malesuada id, tempor eu, gravida id, odio.

Phasellus porttitor, metus non tincidunt dapibus, orci pede pretium neque, sit amet adipiscing ipsum lectus et libero. Aenean bibendum. Curabitur mattis quam id urna.

Block

Block: Cover

This is a left aligned cover block with a background image.

The cover block lets you add text on top of images or videos.

This blocktype has several alignment options, and you can also align or center the text inside the block.

The background image can be fixed and you can change its opacity and add an overlay color.

Make sure that the text wraps correctly over the image, and that text markup and alignments are working.

The next image should have a pink overlay color, the text should be bold and aligned to the left:

A center aligned cover image block, with a left aligned text.

This is a full width cover block with a fixed background image with a 20% opacity.

Make sure that all the text is readable.

Our last cover image block has a wide width.

This is a wide cover block with a video background.

Compare the video and image blocks.
This block is centered.

The block below has no alignment, and the text is a link. Overlay colors must also work with video backgrounds.

Block

Block: Gallery

Design Blog

Gallery blocks have two settings: the number of columns, and whether or not images should be cropped. The default number of columns is three, and the maximum number of columns is eight.

Below is a three column gallery at full width, with cropped images.

Some more text for taking up space.

A two column gallery, aligned to the left.

In the editor, the image captions can be edited directly by clicking on the text.

If the number of images cannot be divided into the number of columns you have selected, the default is to have the last image(s) automatically stretch to the width of your gallery.

A four column gallery with a wide width:

A five column gallery with normal images:

This is the same gallery, but with cropped images.

Six columns: does it work at all window sizes?

Seven columns: how does this look on a narrow window?

Eight columns:
