Blog Look Updated
Hello everyone. If you’ve visited my blog over the past year or so you now should be seeing some nice new changes. After starting an overhaul of the WordPress template I originally had this summer and putting it on the shelf during the school year, I actually decided to go back and finish things up. For starters, I totally redesigned the header of the site. I put the blog name and main links on tattered looking pieces of paper and made the name appear to be taped to the background. This kept consistent with the footer design I made a year ago. Also for the links, on rollover they should look circled by a pencil, or at least they do to me. On the right and middle there’s some fancy little graphics, just because they fill the space and look somewhat cool.
I finally added content to the footer design that has been sitting there empty for a year now. On the left I created a “Connect” section, since social networking is all the rage. Currently I’m listing twitter, facebook, my blog’s rss feed, digg, and youtube (ok…not much on youtube but I might add things later). If anyone has ideas for other icons to put or wants information on other things I use (xbox live account, music, etc.) let me know. On the post-it note on the right, I added in a simple script to gather the “popular” posts and display them. This is simply listing posts in order of how many comments they have. It’s kind of skewed at the moment, but if this site picks up any steam that should become fairly accurate.
