Theme Change

The eagle eyed among you may have spotted that my spring re-boot design didn’t last for very long.

Frankly I grew tired of it really quickly and it didn’t have the impact I’d hoped for. Plus, as summer has finally arrived, I thought something a little more seasonal was in order - no more grey’s and blacks and drippy badness.

So I’m using a variation on one of my favourite stock themes for Wordpress - Durable v0.2.1. As you can probably tell this theme inspired may of the features in DTR2.0 but pulls them off properly :-)
This will probably remain in place until the autumn reboot which I’m planning to be Canvas compatible and re-usable for other peeps out there … or until I get bored of it and change it again with no warning.

    Ah, I have this one installed and will probably play around with it once exams are over…or maybe just use Canvas, it looks pretty cool. Anyway, I much prefer this one to the Raindrop/water thing…sorry!

    Thats fine - the raindrop / water thingy was a bit rushed and lacked polish. Wait till you see what I’ve got in store for Autumn!

    It’s nice, Rob. But I’m not keen on inline external links disappearing on hover. I think it’s a bug rather than a feature. Any chance of sorting it?

    Cheers Dan.

    It was indeed a bug and has now been fixed. It arose due to the use of background css short hand used in both a plugin and the theme’s stylesheet.

    Note to developers. Don’t use short hand unless you are specifying all elements of an attribute!

    Ok, fixed may be a little strong. I upgraded the external links plugin and now the icon has gone.

    This one can keep till the morning but rest assured … it will be sorted!

    Bugger it… external links are screwed and I have no idea why.

    Unfortunately this has slipped down the priorites list somewhat but I’ll take a look at the weekend.
