Theme change?

by Cellobella on Thursday, April 7, 2011 · 3 comments

So… I’m thinking of changing my theme. Thoughts?  Experiences?  Recommendations?   Anyone?   Okay what do I want? Clean design I like red. Widgetised obviously. WordPress. Fixed width (I think). I want to show the entire posts on the front page.  No more of this “read more” malarky. That’s about it.   Your input welcome.

Theme Dream

The common cormorant (or shag) Lays eggs inside a paper bag, You follow the idea, no doubt? It’s to keep the lightning out.But what these unobservant birds Have never thought of, is that herds Of wandering bears might come with buns And steal the bags to hold the crumbs. – Christopher Isherwood The observant among [...]

Nothing like a good purge

by Cellobella on Thursday, December 6, 2007

It’s true and no laxatives used either. Tonight I’ve been clearing out my website. All those old redundant files are now copied across to my thumb-drive and deleted, gone gone gone. It now looks very neat. Just 2 folders… and three files… my index page, my htaccess and my little favicon which probably needs a [...]

I’ve recently added a new plug-in – Aizetto’s Related Posts – and I’m currently on the fence as to whether I’ll keep it. On one hand I’m intrigued by the non-relativeness of the posts the plug-in selects… for example – my post on Matt Price’s funeral attracts: Freedom through eye-wear Still on public transport in [...]

Trialling a new theme

by Cellobella on Sunday, October 14, 2007

I’m playing with a new theme (obviously). This one is called Beauty-50… or at least it is a modified version of Beauty-50… I’m still tweaking… not sure about the donkey orchid… not sure about any of it if I’m honest. I’d be interested in your thoughts. You’ll also see in the left hand column I’ve [...]

Gripe: Flash Websites

by Cellobella on Wednesday, June 20, 2007

Oh please to the designers of fashion web pages out there… stop using Flash. I’m OVER it! It takes an age to load your front page then when I go to the next, another age. Yes and I’m on broadband. I really just can’t be bothered.

The day after

by Cellobella on Wednesday, May 2, 2007

The true inconvenience of a computer crash becomes clear the day after… It’s May and I want to change my banner collection but I have to reload all the software – photo editing, FTP – and reload my website files… and that’s irritating because I saved earlier versions of pages on my hard-drive, I probably [...]
