Finishing the tablets and heading for mobile
•
Continue Reading: Finishing the tablets and heading for mobileSo formatting the theme for tablets turned out to be way easier than what I was anticipating. Essentially all I had to do with it was divide the sidebar into two and put it under the main post area. Also, I moved the social icons to under the header and had to eliminate one of…

Nearing the end of one process and starting another
•
Continue Reading: Nearing the end of one process and starting anotherI see the light at the end of the tunnel, but know there’s another tunnel immediately after. Such is the life of a coder I guess. At any rate, it feels really good to know I’m coming to the end of a process I began back in December of last year and to see the…

Taking a break before the overhaul to enter WordPress theme directory
•
Continue Reading: Taking a break before the overhaul to enter WordPress theme directorySo after a month or so of hard work getting the Nuovo theme up to where it is today, this past week has much needed break away from all of the coding and stress that comes with building a Wordpress theme. Well, it hasn’t been too much of a break. I’ve been helping out at…

The pesky thing that is the theme options page

Continue Reading: The pesky thing that is the theme options pageGoing into this theme build, I figured that the hardest part of building a theme would be theme options. What I didn’t realize was how hard and how pesky that darn thing is.

Decisions abound with Nuovo mobile/tablet design
•
Continue Reading: Decisions abound with Nuovo mobile/tablet designI’ve always hated making tough decisions. There’s always that nagging feeling that the other option you didn’t make was actually the better decision. That’s sort of what I have to deal with going forward with this Nuovo theme. Right now, I’m filling the mobile styles for screen sizes between 320 pixels (the width of the…

Coming down the home stretch with Nuovo
•
Continue Reading: Coming down the home stretch with NuovoI think I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Roughly six months after beginning this project to create a WordPress theme, I’m almost done with it and ready to submit it for the WordPress theme directory. All that remains now is the official debugging by following what the theme reviewers do…

Nitpick cleaning on one theme and starting designing another
•
Continue Reading: Nitpick cleaning on one theme and starting designing anotherSo in the past couple of weeks, I’ve found that it’s easier to create a theme than it is to go through and nitpick and clean it. Case in point, this week it’s taken me a while to knock down the number of HTML validation errors from 160 to 91, though a good majority of…

Juggling two themes at once
•
Continue Reading: Juggling two themes at onceTo say things have been a bit slow in trying to clean up and fix up the Nuovo theme might be a bit of an understatement. While I finally got rid of the vast majority of HTML markup on the homepage, doing that for the rest of the templates has been much more slow going.…

Now the waiting game begins
•
Continue Reading: Now the waiting game beginsSo a little after posting last week’s update on the Nuovo theme, I finally really reached the point where it wasn’t really worth getting into the super fine details of cleaning up the theme and decided to test the waters of the WordPress Theme Review and see what happens. And now the waiting games begin.

Still waiting and still creating mock ups
•
Continue Reading: Still waiting and still creating mock upsSo 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…

Done with the designs, now onto the production
•
Continue Reading: Done with the designs, now onto the productionSo 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…
