As mentioned in my last post, I’m currently trying to put the final touches to the WordPress theme I have been working on for the last few months (it’s been an on and off kinda thing) and there are a few bits and pieces that I’m having a few issues with - but I’ll suss them out in the next day or so.

Now that I’m nearly done I have one final dilemma - Do I keep all the content from the “old” blog or should I start afresh? The only reason this is a dilemma is that there are a few post from the past that do actually generate a lot of traffic to the site (still!). So do I dump everything and start right from the beginning again or just plod on?

Hmmm decisions, decisions…

Just thought I’d post a quick update on the blog redesign.

I’ve got everything working as it should, and almost everything styled correctly with only the “single post page” and comments page to style and iron out a few bugs.

I’ve packaged it up as a Wordpress theme so that I can make changes easily and keep a versioned backup.

Some info on the theme (for reference):

• Self-contained Wordpress Theme.
• Uses the FlickrRSS Wordpress Plugin.
• Makes use of the Xbox 360 Gamercard Wordpress Plugin.
• Uses icons from Mark James & Joseph North.
• Designed using the 960Grid System by Nathan Smith.
• Powered by Douwe Egberts, Powerade, iTunes and repeated visits to the Wordpress Codex.

I should be finished in the next few days and hopefully will switch it “live” next weekend.

Until then…
