December 18th, 2006 1 comment

Oh man I have a lot of work ahead of me.. I so don’t look forward to putting everything back in place.

Theme Publication

December 18th, 2006 14 comments

I plan to continue my round of edits to this theme, and once I am done release it to the wild.

I also plan on removing Ed Merritts name from it as after a while its no longer his.  To be completely honest, and a tad harsh about it, his HTML and CSS aren’t very good.  I realize that he probably made the page from adopting someone elses work and modifying it, just as I am going to do to him.. but I plan to clean it up quite a bit;

  • CSS and HTML shall have proper indentation
  • Custom JS object for doing wizbang stuff
  • NO super secret mint chip to track other peoples usage
  • More function – there is a lot of stuff that wordpress can do that Ocean Mist just doesn’t take into account.

Etc..

I’ll keep you posted.  Right now its not far enough along to call it my own, but once it is I’ll start posting it.

I was tired of trying to exclude every page that I didn’t want to show up. Wow could that system be more clunky..

So, I made it so if the menu_order = -1 it just skips it.

Hacking WordPress

Well I haven’t had this sucker but a day or two and I’m already hacking into it..  You can really tell it’s a community project when you get into the guts..  Not a bad thing really, I like it – but there are things I would have done differently..

I plan to post my hacks in this category.
