With the release of WordPress 2.6, I noticed my lovely CoolWater theme wasn’t playing ball with the new captions for images. It was a case of tweaking the css file, and taking care of a workaround when the image gallery is reluctant to align images. If you notice any more problems, don’t hesitate to let me know. I for one won’t be rushing to upgrade all my blogs to 2.6 just yet.

A while back, I bravely foolishly said I would only change the theme on this blog if I made it myself. Didn’t stick to that promise at all. However I am genuinely interested in making themes, and decided to get my feet wet by converting a CSS/XHTML theme to use in WordPress. (more…)

Promising fuller details later in another post, I have just added a section to this blog where I can try out themes I am designing/converting. I fumbled through the first convert of a coolwater theme, and how I did it will be published soon, along with download possibilities if anyone is interested.

I don’t need to tell you that things will often look different here. Themes come, themes go. This is not just a blog thing, I am prone to rearranging my flat quite often, too. With my flat, it’s an improvement. With the blog, it’s usually a whim. Looking around for different themes is quite an experience. Plenty of sites advertising free premium (!) themes, many of them duplicating each other’s content. This was all too bewildering for me, and I just decided to google “minimal wordpress themes” and found the theme I am using now. I will keep this for a while, but mainly because there’s little to make me want to change it! In fact I should promise here and now that my next theme will be one of my own creation, that guarantees that nothing will happen for a while!
