This morning I upgraded the blog to WordPress 2.6.2 and I’m trying to change the appearance to something more suited to my interests. Currently, all the posts are in one stream. For persistent items, I make a page on the side. However, there are getting to be more pages and more pages that I would like to add that don’t seem appropriate for the root page of the website. Pages that would be more suited to a particular topic.
The topics that I want to have are based roughly on the tags; rambling, bicycling, apple/mac, house projects, news, and gardening. I would like my bicycle items, for example, to stay closer to the top, but the current home page is correct in how it works. So, if I give them their own space the website can filter and organize them to represent my interests more accurately.
It took a few hours to work out, but the changes should be finished. For the most part that is. There’s always some little thing. I used the My Envision template, replacing the Girls Suck template that I’ve been using since the first days. Neither the template nor the Wordpress installation are exactly standard. Thank God I can program.
The new template seems clean, bright, easy to read, and most importantly spacious. I can fill in the missing links for bicycling, remodeling the house, etc. Every so often I write a post full of these links and now I can put them on the sidebar where they belong.
If you have a comment about the change in appearance put it on this post.
Oh wow!! This looks so much better!!
