After 2 days of trial and error customising the excellent Giraffe theme version 1.20 (UrbanGiraffe), I decided to go online with it.
I picked it for its straight design and the fluid width. Running the 1280×1024 resolution, I began to hate my old design for its fixed width (so 800×600 would work). Looking at my server logfiles, nearly no one uses the 800 resolution anymore. Now, changing browser window size makes the page’s width up-/ downscale. Nice.
Unfortunately, some things still don’t work:
Logo gfx in the header is a transparent PNG which f*ckin‘ IE does not display properly. The new theme should serve IE users a GIF version, but this does not seem to work at this point. Sadly, 51% of my visitors still use IE (just why ??), and really get an ugly header.Gravatars don’t work. These avatars are enhancing comments area very much, so I will try to sort this out as well.The theme is not showing any „Older Posts“ at the bottom of the page. (No idea what happened there…)- I will probably have archives by year, not by month. Edit: Archives only list the number of configured posts for the main page and are therefore incomplete (bug !?)
- The XSPF music player is gone for the moment. It will make a return when WordPress & plugins & themes get AJAX– pimped, so continous play while browsing the posts becomes possible.
Thank you for reading. 🙂
