I have been working off and on for the last few weeks on a new theme for GarryConn.com, and today I am happy to be able to finally launch the new design.
I use to update my theme, what seems like, twice a week. I enjoy tinkering around with html and css and that is probably one of the reasons why I used to update my theme so often.
Lately, I just haven’t had the time to leisurely play around with coding and designing. I do enjoy it though, and I am very excited to go live with the new theme.
Over the next week I will continue to be doing some finish touches to the theme. These things will be subtle, such as adding buttons and social bookmarking links to the bottom of the posts.
A few things will be different, such as the removal of threaded and Ajax commenting. The threaded comment plugin that I have been using was really old. Replacing it with the newer version will screw the existing threaded comments up. Secondly, I don’t like all the extra coded added by both plugins on the header.php file.
Same goes with Ajax commenting. The plugin is neat, but it doesn’t work for everyone, and it adds a ton of code to the header.php file. I am picky about code, mainly machine readable code. I might not be the best graphic or html designer, but I’d like to think that my html coding is pretty friendly for search engines.
Another new feature is I am only displaying the most recent posts from my “Make Money Online” category on the home page. I enjoy writing about a lot of things, but majority of the subscribers here are interested in learning how to make money online. I think this will help keep things on topic. For those interested in reading my other stuff, you use my “Categories” menu located on the sidebar.
The sidebar format is very simple, and the content is very readable. I hope that you enjoy the new design, and as always, you’re welcome to share your thoughts using the comment form below.
