I’ve been using a lot of pimp word lately. Don’t misunderstood it with the real meaning but if you watch MTV’s Pimp My Ride, you know what I mean.
I decided to steal some time to do some realignment with the overall blog structure. Well, everyone seems to be doing it right now so why not I join the them. Furthermore, WordPress is fun to play with and once you try do something with it you can’t stop until it’s done.
Since I’m pretty much bored with 1 column layout and 800×600 resolution, I decided to bring back the sidebar. Seriously I don’t know whether to call it a sidebar or what but basically it is. It took me one hour to think how the final layout and everything going to be.
What’s new?
Below are pretty much the summary of everything (I think).
- Say bye bye 800×600
Sorry but I don’t care for you anymore. Nothing to argue, please move along.
- There’s no single.php
You heard me right, there’s no single.php in this theme. Call me crazy but everything are dumped into index.php.
- Brand new not-so-LiveSearch
With all those tutorials swarming the interWeb, why not do your own LiveSearch. I’m still figuring out where to include the search box on other pages. Currently it’s only available on the front page.
- New Page navigation
Because Yahoo! Developer Network said so. For the time being, it’s only visible on the front page, archives and search results.
- Comments alternate background
The stripes are back. Sorry for the boring color.
- OMG cats
Just to make my dull blog more colourful. Furthurmore, you got to agree with me that cats are cute. All photos are property of their respective owners.
- All the boring stuff goes down to the footer
I placed all the boring stuff like the about, bookmarks, archives and feedback page to the footer. I don’t expect people to read it anyway. It’s a bit awkward but get use to it.
- Feed
LINKremoved fromHEADelementWell if you want to subscribe to my blog feed, go find it yourself. I’m clearing out my blog “HEAD” to make room for some other important things.
- Ditching Scriptaculous for Moo.fx
Smaller size but less effects. Let see how far this thing can go.
So what’s next?
I’ll probably going to implement Rolling Archives to my new Page Navigation system but don’t know exactly when. It wouldn’t be much of a problem since I’ve already done this before.
Other than that you might notice that the color scheme especially for the link color is quite wrong not to mention the heading and everything seems to be blend with each other. As far as I can tell, anything else is ok.
Anyhoo, the comment form is open if you got anything to share.
