I’ve posted a 6-minute screencast video on YouTube explaining much more about how custom themes work in Micro.blog, using the example of copying a theme from GitHub and editing the templates.

@manton Very good screencast. I need to watch it again but I think you cleared up my questions about how to actually fetch stuff. Thanks.

@manton The updates were all pretty fast, were those real time? I.e. if I play with my site I should see the updates about that fast?

@manton Woah! The new custom themes for micro.blog look super powerful!

@schmarty Thanks!

@manton Should this be linked/embedded on the Custom Themes help page?

@smokey Yes, good idea. I'll add a link.
