Progressing On Site

September 22, 2010 By Jacques Corby-Tuech Leave a Comment

Just playing about with some in-browser modifications of my theme earlier today. Moved the breadcrumbs section above the sidebar so it takes up the full width of the site, and played around with the post display css to get two posts to show up per line.

It’s not exactly as I want it. I want the first post to show at full width, with more content on display.

Just came across this on the WordPress site, which should help me out, though I’ll need to look into how to change the specific length of the post excerpt, so it displays far more of the post than the others.

DevPress

Just a quick one.

Justin Tadlock, the guy behind the 2010 default WordPress theme has just announced DevPress, a new WordPress theme and plugin site.

Worth keeping an eye out on it, as Justin’s made some great themes in the past.

They’ve already got a pretty good looking theme on offer, along with a rather nifty looking slideshow plugin that’d be great on a homepage.

Lettering.js

September 19, 2010 By Jacques Corby-Tuech Leave a Comment

Just stumbled across a rather neat typography plugin for jQuery, it’s called lettering.js and allows for some pretty fancy typographic effects, including individual letter control, word wrapping, line wrapping and kerning.

The page itself has a rather cool example at the top of what you can do with individual letter control.

Haven’t had a chance to play with it yet, but I’ll get a test page up, probably on tuesday, just to explore some of the possibilities of this plugin.

Google Apps

May 6, 2010 By Jacques Corby-Tuech Leave a Comment

Just set up Google Apps to work on my bodyhacking domain. mail.bodyhacking.com will now lead to a custom gmail interface. Not sure what to do with it yet, other than it just being used for me to experiment with changing DNS records and playing with subdomains. I may use it as an incentive to “premium” users, if I set up premium accounts.

Seems like a good way of introducing people to a familiar interface, along with getting them a different email address.

New site

February 9, 2010 By Jacques Corby-Tuech Leave a Comment

I’ve been working on a new site, it’s not complete yet (the new version of vBulletin is a bit of a pig when it comes to styling). But it’s getting there. Still lots to do.

Here’s what it looks like at the moment.

Still a great deal to do as you can see, I’m looking into finding a way to automatically get various RSS feeds posting articles to the homepage, although I’ll have to be careful with how that’s used, I don’t want to steal other sites content.
