Website Editions
Here’s the deal. I will be adding some slight changes to the site, as well as a few more noticable major changes. None of these are final decisions, but just ideas, that I would like feedback on, before they are implemented. So if you have any questions, comments, concerns, or you just don’t like the idea, then just post a comment!
First off, I would really like to re-do the whole commenting scheme. Right now it’s ugly, as can be. What I plan on doing is making each comment a bubble, like a comic text bubble. I would also add something with Gravitars, because we all want to see those cool lil’ icons. Another thing that I think needs to be added is author highlighting, so when I post comment, it would stick out with a different color, from the readers of the blog. All of these changes may be a bit difficult for, considering I’m not really a pro with wordpress comments yet. But I’m learning slowly :D
Secondly. I want to restyle the headings. If you look at a wide variety of blogs, you will have noticed that a lot of them are starting to implement a new way to display the date, comment, and category information. Right now, I just have it as text under the title of the posts. I have a few ideas of what could be done. I could put a border around the title, and all of the post info, and then add some kind of gradient into the box, this would be nice, but it might be ugly. Still have to play with that. Another idea would be to add a square style date. So then the date would look like it’s an image, instead of just the boring text that is around now.
Thirdly. The sidebar needs a little love. I think that there is going to have to be a few more things that need to be added, and I don’t think that the current architecture of the sidebar can hold it. So I’m either going to just create a few new sections to it, or I might even get messy with some ajaxy fun stuff. Granted I don’t know javascript, and it would probably be a big waste of time, it might happen :D
Lastly. Well I honestly feel that there is something missing, but I just can’t put my finger on it. If you can think of anything I’m forgetting to fix, or anything that you don’t like, and would like to be tweaked. Please, PLEASE post a comment.
