new blog look/theme

Sunday, Jan 22. 2006 – Category: Musings

i installed a new theme (WPAndreas07), and heavily modified it. i wasn’t happy with how cluttered my previous sidebar was getting, and i like the minimal/clean feel of WPAndreas07. however, it didn’t have the blogroll/categories/archives/etc. that i liked, so i hacked it up to have “foldable” (maybe collapsible is the better term) menus for those. i also wrote a quick “recent photos” bit of php that gives a compact view of my recent additions in my photo gallery which i quite like.

~~one thing i still need to do is make my own header graphic as the default (that pink flower) doesn’t really fit in with the colour scheme i decided upon.~~

okay, i made my new graphic. i’m still not sure about it… let me know what you think.

I really love what you did with the collapsing categories and whatnot. Would you be willing to send me the code for that so I can integrate it into the original WPAndreas07 design? I would be willing to credit you for your addition.

Thanks, David

The header image is really disturbing. Of course that may be the intention….

By the way, what do I have to add to my sidebar to show a random thumbnail from my Gallery? (Or should I wait until I upgrade to WP2.0?)
