Hey guys, I decided to update my theme to make it a little less cluttered and easier to read. \u00a0What do you think?<\/p>\n
A lot of the stuff in the sidebar seemed rather useless, so I got rid of everything but the bare essentials (book links, email newsletter, progress bars) and the visitor map. \u00a0The header images are from my book covers–they should cycle randomly.<\/p>\n
At first, I thought I’d keep the tag splash, but it didn’t seem to fit with the word sizes. \u00a0Not sure if I should bring it back or not. \u00a0And as for the categories and archives, I’m not sure whether I should keep those somewhere or just get rid of them.<\/p>\n
I like this design a lot so far, but I think it’s kind of annoying that the tags and categories are listed at the top of the blog post, instead of at the bottom. \u00a0I’ll see what I can do to change that. \u00a0I don’t want to tweak the actual theme files if I can avoid it, since they seem to update every now and then and when they do, all the modifications are lost.<\/p>\n
I’ll probably make a few minor changes over the next couple of days, until I get it where I want it. \u00a0If you have any thoughts or feedback, please let me know. \u00a0Thanks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
