PHILOSOPHY/OUTLOOK/MISSION STATEMENT/CREDO/MASTHEAD

Lithic refers to rock. A rock is a collection of minerals. A mineral is a naturally occurring solid with an orderly and repeated internal structure. Rocks stand up to time - for a while. Words, well-wrought, can also stand up—for a while, and provide some small salve for the journey, some joy for the maker and the reader.

Lithic began with the urge to publish as much of Jack Mueller’s work as possible. That continues to be a focus. Jack has a number of works long completed or near-ready that we hope to bring out over the next couple of years. Poetry will remain our core, but we are also open to the possibilities of memoir, natural history, and almost any other fine writing that comes our way.

Lithic is a free independent press, making books since 2007.

Widgetkit is the next generation tool set for Joomla and WordPress. This toolkit is the first of its kind! It provides a simple and user-friendly way to enrich your websites experience with slideshows, galleries, lightboxes and much more. All widgets make use of modern web technologies like HTML5 markup, CSS3 features and jQuery based JavaScripts.

• Asset file minification and compression
• Supports touch gestures for mobile devices

How It Works

Widgetkit basically acts as a platform for all our widgets. It installs as a single component in Joomla or as a plugin in WordPress. The Widgetkit dashboard presents you an overview of all widgets. You can create, edit or delete all widgets and their content in one place. And after you have created the content for your first widget, you can either use a shortcode or a module to display your widget anywhere on your website. In fact, you can do both. Because once have you created a widget, you are able to display it multiple times and reuse it on different parts of your website.

Warp comes with a sophisticated layout system to create any kind of sidebar or widget layout. You can easily manage the sidebar's positions and widths in the theme administration. Widgets can have different styles and be placed in any position offered by this theme. Each position has its own layout. You can align widgets side-by-side, stack them or choose your own grid layout. Show or hide widgets on mobile devices, while the grid adapts perfectly to your layout.
