    Complete style change for Giornalismo

    So after the success of Nuovo and the JM Breaking News plugin, I’ve restarted working on Giornalismo full time. I ended up getting a ton fixed on it over the past couple of days, but no one change was bigger than the font and a slight color change.

    A soft opening for Giornalismo

    Roughly 10 months after sketching it out in a journal and just barely starting writing the code, the heavy duty development with Giornalismo is over.

    After succeeding in getting a theme into the WordPress Theme Directory, I’m trying my hand at doing the same with plugins.

    Moving right along with Nuovo

    To say that the work with the rebuild of Nuovo has been quick might be an understatement. This time last week I was only a part way through the different templates. Now, seven days later, I’ve finished all of the template files and have put it up on the development site. Unfortunately, it didn’t quite…

    Playing the waiting game

    So this past week has been a pretty good week with the WordPress theme development. Since this time last week, I’ve submitted Giornalismo for the theme review to get into the WordPress Theme Directory as well as the Nuovo 2.0 update. That has gotten a lot off of my plate development-wise, but now comes the…

    Read More About plugin released this week

    While waiting for Nuovo and Giornalismo to go through their respective theme reviews, I received a bit of good news this week from the plugin front. Mere days after submitting it, the Read More About plugin was approved for the WordPress Plugin Directory, making it technically the third plugin I have in the directory, but…

    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…

    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.

  • 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.

    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.
