Old Content Warning

This post is very old (it was published 4 years ago), so I can't vouch for its content or accuracy. It may be here for posterity. Please take its content with a pinch of salt.

I've been meaning to slightly re-jiggle my front page for a while now, and I think that it looks much better. Things I've done:

  • Added 5 posts to homepage instead of 1
  • Added hover effects to sidebar
  • Added more sections to sidebar
  • Added pages for tags, comments and stats.
  • Changed the CSS for links to make them stand out from body text better
  • Removed the image post headings - replaced with 20px Georgia with a CSS text shadow.
  • Changed URLs for dynamic CSS, EG the custom or day based CSS changes (makes me happy and probs improves support for old browsers)
    • Was: /wp-content/themes/red-world/colour.php?style=[id]
    • Now: /wp-content/themes/red-world/dynamic-css/[id].css
  • Added the custom/daily colour change to links + headings in sidebar
  • Added an awesome magnifying icon to the sidebar search box
