Really, that is the time and date right now! Further evidence that every moment is amazing. After sleeping on it, I still like this “functional” based theme (as opposed to flair). The black one was OK, but this is the one I think I’m sticking with. I went through about 20-25 themes yesterday . . . coded all my widgets so I could test them all out on a test site I have, and finally bounced them off my wife. I think I’ve done my homework this time. There’s always something lost when something’s gained. You have to choose the lesser of two evils sometimes. Here’s a couple reasons I like this one:
- It’s a fluid layout (you can adjust it to fixed also).
- The colors are neutral and not “in your face” and yet, not “soft.”
- It is crisp, well written Wordpress code (My self-created theme had more issues than People magazine).
- It crops and seats the photos well. It’s the most crisp placement of large photos in a post I’ve yet come across.
- It has a professional looking author and support page. I am looking forward to learning from this guy.
- The widgets work well. (Except I learned that php widgets do not work in Explorer for ANY theme I tried, hence “Top Commentators” and few others have been put to sleep for a time.
- You can read the text well, and overall it is more of a “diary” looking format than a professional writer one. This is, as you may recall, the direction I have gone for Riley Central.
Ok, gotta run. need to make some copies for what is sure to be a wild Friday with my students. I am watching a colleague’s class for the second half of the day as she needs to leave for a wedding. That equals: a lotta kids!!! Much more later . . . (photos in header should be set no later than 3:30pm so check back for those, it’s likely to be a Route 66 museum or something vintage like that. Tell me what you think! Have a great day, in fact . . . have the BEST day of your life, it is possible to.
