Excuse Me While I Slip Into Something More Comfy...

Friday 12 Oct 07:
Sigh... I can't help it... the itchy-finger-itis has struck again... and I'm changing my skin. I'm trying out this new theme. If you happen to see my blog going wonky... it's me testing... please excuse the mess.

Well... I seem to be set with this new theme from BlogginPro. However, there are a couple of kinks.

  • The top right corner images for the search box at the top don't seems to align for Firefox.
  • Can't seem to get optimum placement for the second right column that holds the calendar and BlogRush widget. Again, Firefox seems to be unaccomodating.
  • Also can't seem to get the Recent Comments line separator to appear ABOVE the commentors name so that each comment appears in its own segment. Had to add a space above the name as a temporary fix.... but if I didn't tell you you'd think it was okay right?

So if you're using Firefox... a thousand apologies....really... . I wish theme developers would include notes in their read-me or in the code itself about what their variables do. I have to test one variable at a time to see how it affects the whole theme and if it screws up, I quickly undo and revert to one before.

I've added a new plugin to display the popularity percentage of individual posts and also a list of the most popular (commented) posts. The figures won't show accurate figures for the first couple of weeks as the counts for each post only begin today...

    Wah.. nice theme. Actually I like the Blogging Pro theme too. I downloaded it, hacked it a bit and mixed it with another theme.

    I don't have the problems you mentioned but got slight errors too. take a look at it at:

    If you want I can give you that. Maybe you can use it to fix your problems :)

      ahh...the PHP man himself. Thanks... will take a look see...but I have my own hack planned. I'll NOT be defeated by a little 6x6 pixel image! Also... the misalignment is caused by the BlogRush widget being too wide. However, John has a narrow version on the way. It's being tested now. Once it's released, that should solve my problem...

    er, can't notice much difference... :mrgreen:

  • Daram says:

    I agree with Jenny. I see post title colour change and the top banner modified. Anyway it's still attractive. I must say your contents are wonderful. :smile:

    • Andrew says:

      Thanks for the input Daram. Me thinks that many may be looking at the cached version of my blog. The new theme is blue and reddish orange. If you don't see this color scheme, then probably you have the cached version. And you're right... the content is what matters... The look is just to please the creative genius in me :twisted:
