Revamps
Posted by RazorsKissJan 10
As you may have seen, I’m doing something different. I’ll probably start doing a Daily Cut once a week, or more infrequently. I’ve added a mini-blog to the top right, so you can see what I find interesting right now, at a glance, instead of trying to fight and do a large post every day.
Also, I’ll start adding some new features, and likely upgrade to WordPress 2.0 in the near future.
I’ve revamped the look of the apologetics section at the top right as well; I’ve delineated the subject areas more cleanly, rearranged the aggregator buttons, pointed out the “Latest Post” feature (you really should use that… it shows the most recent posts from the Aggregator, if you click the button. It utilizes javascript, and opens it right here.), and I’m looking into some other features which (I hope), will save me, and you, some time.
Yes, I am an inveterate tweaker. This site has *always* got something changing about it. Expect it. I may, also, release this theme and the theme I use on Bethany’s site, to the public, once I clean them both up. Eventually. I have two more projects in the works, from the design aspect, and I’ll introduce them to you once they’re finished. One is a (concept) site for my church, and the other is a website for my immediate family members. They should be fun…
Now, if I only had 20 more hours in a day!
I may – may – add a list of all the neat plugins I use on this site. I have quite a few. This is a very custom setup, thus the constant tweaking.
Today’s burning questions:
1. Any requests for features/functionality?
2. Any problems with the blog functionality or theme?

I’ve just been informed that it’s de-lurking week so I’ll show myself and comment.
I love these recent changes, everything looks great. I especially like the side blog; it looks really good. It also loads faster.
I, for one, would love to know about the plug-ins you use here.
I’m thinking about upgrading to WP 2.0 but concerned I might have problems keeping my theme or my plug-ins. Give details here when you decide to do it (if you don’t mind) ’cause I’d be interested in how it all goes.

No… It looks great and runs fairly smooth. Sometimes all the extras tend to slow the load time, but since the post is one of the first things up it doesn’t matter. I can read the post while the rest of the page loads.
The comment window is a little slower, but not bad.
