As you can see I’ve begun to hack away at the CSS default theme for WordPress. Things may be a little off as I tweak the files to my liking. I will be installing a mirror server from my Mac for testing, however it is easier for me to see how things look once they get onto the actual webserver. Things I know that have to be adjusted yet are;
- A clickable link to the main page from subpages.
- Development of some sort of unique theme.
- Removal of those damn >> bullets. I hate those.
- Tweaking of the entry/comments/search formatting.
- Elimination of the above and below margins.
This is going to take a long time. I don’t know that much about CSS and PHP. However, I believe it is necessary to move my website over to a more dynamic system. With the demands of obtaining an education degree always on the rise I find little time to sit down and actually do much with my website. With WordPress I’ll be able to create entries whenever I have a few minutes regardless of where I am. This leads to my next point, I’ll be studying abroad in Deutschland next year and won’t have access to my iMac.
At first I was very much against converting my website to a blog system. But in the past two years the web has evolved, blogging packages improved exponentially, and installations become more flexible. I tried ecto, iWeb, and other packages and found them lacking. So expect nothing but good things. Hopefully I will be able to attract more visitors too. My statistics for this site show that incoming traffic now is 90% lower than what it was last September. I’ve gone from thousands of pageviews down to hundreds.
