Site Changes
April 6, 2008
The site design has changed. I’ve once again used a WordPress template, as I was too lazy to design my own. I get incredibly meticulous and obsessive with web design, and I just don’t have the time for that right now. Actually, I do have the time, just not the will.
WordPress themes are a joy to use. Adding, changing, and modifying themes is such a breeze. But while WordPress theme management might be designed brilliantly, the user uploaded themes aren’t always, and this one is a good example of that.
I didn’t notice until I just tried to edit the sidebar, but they used nested tables in the layout. I feel dirty all over for using this now. I feel like I’m harbouring a terrorist, clubbing seals to death, or buying a Paris Hilton CD. The design isn’t Widget Ready either, so editing the sidebar is a pain. I’ll start looking for another theme soon.
If you mosey over to the sidebar, you’ll find I’ve added contact information and links to my various profiles around this here Internet. Feel free to add me as a friend/contact/followee on any of those applications.
Lastly, I’ve started using Postalicious to post periodic shared links here. I initially set it up to post my shared links from Google Reader, but that wasn’t working how I wanted, so I switched to using del.icio.us. I’m going to try it out for a while, and see how it goes.
And yes, I realise that coffee cup has an eye. And yes, it is staring into your very soul.




That is one creepy coffee cup, dude. I hate it when layouts aren’t widget ready; that’s happening to me on Blue Sky Bride. Where did you find this? On Wordpress themes? *shrug* Usually they’re widget ready. I’m trying to mod the one on Blue Sky Bride so I’ll let you know when I’m actually successful.
Also, Tahoma ftw. :P

Thanks for the linky love. I’ll have to see if the link I have for you still works.
What do you like about Wordpress? Just curiuos, because I really love Blogger.

It was on WordPress themes, yeah. I was able to switch it to be widget ready (he had it half done, it seems), but it’s going to take a bit of work to get it to display nicely.

“they used nested tables in the layout. I feel dirty all over for using this now”
- he he he. We still have some pages that use **gasp** nested tables at work, but those do contain tabular data, so I don’t feel totally bad. Plus, we are redesigning them. Ok, here, you can take my programmer’s card.
I do like this theme.

Ah, but tabular data is what tables were designed for, so no reason to feel dirty about that.
