Alterations to the theme and new adspots

Portlands hidden football field.

Oh yes!! :)

I am glad to have moved to the new wordpress 3.0 and though a couple of times I have seen odd styling bugs in the dashboard at times, things looking odd… a refresh of the page sorts it. ;)

I am glad to have got onto using the twenty ten theme, I like it but I did notice a few things… oddly the ad squares widget wouldn’t sit right, as the sidebar wasn’t big enough.

So, I dealt with them issues. ;)

But, it was odd…

It was just odd that the content “floats” to the left but is fixed at 100% of the width… strangely it has a “right” negative count margin, as in say -240 so that it leaves a gap on the right side of the width that size with the sidebar being there, hope that makes sense? (this explains it well, I just went looking ;) )

I thought it odd but it makes sense when you read that and also realise the settings being that way load the content before the sidebar. ;)

Bonus. The content loading first is always a good thing. :lol:

Changes, not too many but important

So, it’s game on… I am starting to get the site more how I want it to be, the ads for sponsors now fit after I altered the style css and the margins need to get it to fit while keeping it all neat. :) AND they are available, contact me. :)

The share buttons on the bottom of each post now work well, thanks for sharing… ;)

I am nearer to getting the plug-ins set up how I want them, a few other things I hope makes the place better for all, you and me. :)

I have added plenty of images for the headers for the top of the post, how do you like them so far? (feel free to leave comments) :)

As you can see from all the smilies I am happier to be getting there.

    The new system for creating menus are really great. I use Thematic a lot on my work but now I’m thinking about using the 2010 theme as the parent to a (child) theme on a project I’m about to begin.

      I have yet to create a “menu” mainly due to not really being sure what sort I would do… but yeah this is a good move. :)

      I am liking this theme, it’s a good one to learn some php with too.

    I really do want to play around with the twenty ten theme, but I love the look of my theme currently.

    To me good design is content centered in this sense: the most is made of the least, a few different, elegant fonts and minimal design elements (lines, some sparse color) do the job.

  6. Looks great Rob, the new TwentyTen is a great base for themes!
