    Shipping off VideoPlace for review

    It’s done. Well, for the most part. I made the final fixes for VideoPlace and sent it off for review for the WordPress Theme Directory. As I’ve said before, I love using the Foundation framework, which makes developing and debugging so much easier. Really, the only fixes that needed to be made were simple CSS…

    Slow but decent work with VideoPlace

    After a wicked fast pace on development last week on VideoPlace, I kind of expected a slow up in work on VideoPlace this week. But I hope to have it done and sent by the end of the month.

    Speedy development on VideoPlace thanks to Foundation

    Fotographia, my first WordPress theme to use the Foundation framework, took a couple of weeks of development, though outside factors ballooned that number. But VideoPlace, using Foundation 6, took just three days to finish up the bulk of development.

    The plan after a break from WordPress

    It’s been a long three-plus months. My final fall semester in college was everything that I could handle… and then some. But the semester is finally over for me and with it an opportunity to get back into developing in WordPress.

    Nearing the end for Fotographia and good news with Giornalismo

    ,

    It’s been a busy and fun last couple of weeks of web development for me. Last week, Giornalismo was accepted into the WordPress Theme Directory and with it comes the end of just over a year’s worth of work on the theme. That has also led to really good development with Fotographia.

    Slow work on Fotographia

    So it’s been a while since I posted an update on the work on Fotographia and there’s kind of a good reason for that. Not much has happened since the last update. Things have been really busy around here, particularly with Texas athletic director Steve Patterson resigning last week and a lot of schoolwork due…

  • The blessing and curse of using Foundation

    So it’s been a couple of weeks since I started the process of creating my new theme, Fotographia. Since the last update, I’ve finished the mockups and begun the process of creating and styling the templates themselves.

  • Getting started with a new theme

    So the last month or so has been a down period for me and WordPress. After sending off the initial version of Giornalismo and the 2.0 release of Nuovo, I haven’t been doing much work in developing on WordPress.

  • WordPress 4.3 not flashy, but a solid update nonetheless

    Last week, WordPress 4.3, nicknamed “Billie Holliday” for the jazz musician — as are all of the major releases for the blogging platform — was released to the world. This was the first release cycle that I followed heavily through the Make WordPress blog, so none of the features in the release caught me off…
