I have been playing with the wordpress templates or sometime, and have created several from scratch, with varying levels of success. I created this one with the blueprint css framework, last one i did with 960.gs. This seems to be working much better.
Currently getting irratated by Microsoft’s stupid browsers. Role on IE8 which is standards compliant. Will try and get some of the IE problems sorted, (may be, probably not).
Update:
Have been trying to fix a problem with my widgets sidebars, the theme has some on the front page and the standard side bar as well. Turns out to be a bug in 2.5.1 of wordpress, who’d a guessed it wasnt my shoddy coding?.
Anyway was about the write a to-do list to finish this theme and figured i may as well append to this post
- Fix widgets (once the bug has gone from wordpress)
- Style all the standard out of the box widgets
- Find a way to remove the twitter-digest category from the recent posts (Anyone ?)
- Translate bar, turn into plugin and put config options in the DB
- currently the to & from languages are hard coded.
- Create separate page templates (i.e. with / without comments etc)
- …….
Added pages views to the meta, sorted out (a bit the comments template). Am yet to try and have a look in IE. Fingers crossed.
