Things I think I should do:

  • Blog more.
  • Put up a blogroll up again. Be friendly with other bloggers.
  • Advertising?

Random thought: Minimalistic-designed blogs work best with photos. I’m not in photographer mode until “some matters” get settled. These matters are filed under Positive, so no worries

Last update: Decided to use the Cutline theme, which is really a throwback to the “classic” two-column, widget driven setup. And if anyone’s seen this blog’s redesigns through the years, this isn’t a surprise: I used to always prefer the white, minimal style.

To-dos: Bookmarks/links and Archives (optional) page.

Latest update: Yesterday’s theme was admittingly ugly, so I went for ‘The Journalist‘ theme today, which is, for the lazy in me, thankfully widgetized! Let’s see how long this lasts.

New Site Theme! http://raincontreras.com/2008/04/16/look-yall-new-site-theme/ http://raincontreras.com/2008/04/16/look-yall-new-site-theme/#comments Tue, 15 Apr 2008 22:14:46 +0000 rain http://raincontreras.com/?p=1249 Though I’m still convinced the dark site look is obsolete, it’s not when you display photos, especially black-and-white ones. Hence, no more white themes for now.

I’ve already made customizations to the Sharpfolio theme, but some parts of the site still need work. And yes, I’m not using the theme as intended for the latest WordPress version, but I guess a bit more than 4 years of working on this platform gives me enough dibs to do what I want, right?

Stuff to do:

  • About/Contact page reformat. Submit button not in place with IE7.
  • A proper Archives setup. NO! This is in FAIL status! The Clean Archives plugin confirmation setup doesn’t work with WP 2.5, and my hacking into the code screwed up PHP code structure.
  • An RSS button instead of text link.
  • Copyright by me notice.
  • Pages organization on header.
  • Place of plugins: Twitter Tools, etc. Might as well go minimal on a sidebar-less blog.
  • Tag cloud reactivation.
