    Continuing the path toward finish Giornalismo

    ,

    Another week gone by and another item checked off the list for the Giornalismo theme. This week I finished off the advertisement feature for the theme, which actually went much easier than I thought it would. After creating the advertisement custom post type last week, I was able to add spots to add advertisements in…

    Road block for Nuovo

    ,

    So Nuovo was almost home free. After getting initial approval by the first reviewer, the thought was that the second and final round would be quick and painless and that it would be put up on the WordPress Theme directory relatively soon. Except that the second review brought up a few more issues that have…

    Taking things one item at a time

    After a pretty successful week last week with Giormalismo, this week wasn’t quite as great, but then again I had a lot going on this week.

    Finally getting to see it all come together

    If seeing is believing, then I more than believe that I struggle at building themes perfectly in the initial coding aspect. Last week, I finally finished coding the biggest part of Giornalismo and decided to give it a bit of test run. Sure, not all of the features I’m looking to run with the theme…

    And it goes on and on and on

    ,

    So my suspicions with how easy it would be to fix the errors found in Nuovo in the theme review turned out to be correct. The biggest issue, the errors being kicked back when no options were saved in the theme options, wasn’t that hard of a problem to fix. For the text input, all…

    Needing to fix Nuovo for theme directory

    ,

    So there’s good news, pretty good news and bad news with the Nuovo theme. First, the good news is is that it was finally reviewed for the WordPress Theme Directory after six weeks of waiting around. I’m not going to lie, I was a good bit nervous when I got an email saying someone was…

    Learning how to HTML5

    So now I’ve reached the fun part in creating this Giornalismo theme: the actual creating. Now is the time where things all come together and all of the ideas I’ve had in planning how this thing will work all get put into motion.

    Done with the designs, now onto the production

    ,

    So even with the busy and crazy schedule I have now with college starting up again and essentially three jobs to juggle, I’ve found the time to finish off the mobile designs for Giornalismo (not that’s anything too hard given the fact that I need only one design per template). But with that done, it’s…

    Still waiting and still creating mock ups

    ,

    So the news on the Nuovo Theme is that there’s no news. It hasn’t been reviewed yet, although it seems to be in good company as there are many more themes as old if not older that have yet to be touched by the WordPress theme reviewers, which is understandable given the scope of how…
