Giorgio Chiodi

I followed this guide (http://burnaftercompiling.com/nodebb/nodebb-hands-on-theming-guide-part-1/)

All I get is this:

I kinda fixed it.
I don't know what was missing, but copied the lavender folder, removing everything I wasn't interested and am modifing that one.
For some reason, my modified vanilla theme crashed everything.

I'd have to publish a new version of that guide, I wrote it for 0.3x, a lot has changed since then. Julian wrote this "quickstart" theme, all you need to do is fork it and change the configs as per the readme, maybe this will be more useful to you.

@psychobunny ok, thanks, i'll keep that in mind
