Upgrade and New Look

Sunday, August 3, 2008 in General by slowe | 11 comments

Major changes have taken place! The site has been upgraded to WordPress 2.6 and a new theme has been installed. I’m still in the process of tweaking the styles and the layout, and a few plugins still need to be replaced and/or upgraded, but for the most part everything should be functional. If you run into anything that’s not working as expected, please let me know.

Feedback is welcome!

    Very nice layout! So far so good… haven’t noticed anything out of the ordinary.

    I’d only say you should move the search up to the top; other than that I dig the new look!

    Julien,

    It’s pretty bare bones, actually:

    Akismet
    FeedBurner FeedSmith
    Similar Posts
    All in One SEO Pack
    Duplicate Sidebar Widgets

    That’s it! Everything else is provided by WordPress 2.6 and Tarski 2.2.2.

    nice! Love the masthead image. :)

    But, for my part, you could disable the displaying of avatars in the comments. uses a lot of space and is only used rarely.
