    Continuing the path toward finish Giornalismo

    Another week gone by and another item checked off the list for the Giornalismo theme.

    Continuing through the boring stuff

    So thing have been chugging right along with work for the Giornalismo theme. The breaking news feature actually didn’t take that long to figure out. After figuring out how to get the current time from WordPress and then subtracting that from the time of the post to figure out how long it’s been published and…

    Giving the user a helping hand

    You never really know who might be using your theme. It could be a hard-core coder who knows all of the ins and outs of creating a spectacularly looking post, or it could be someone who only knows how to use a word processor. So with that in mind, one of the features I wanted…

The folks who run and maintain WordPress and the WordPress directory made it official that all themes will have the use the WordPress Customizer instead of creating separate theme options…

    Continuing the Giornalismo rebuild

    So there’s not too much of an update with the themes this week. I’ve continued to re-code everything in the Giornalismo theme. Over the weekend I knocked out the header template, staying close to how things are to be done in HTML5 and what not.

    Finally in the WordPress theme directory

    Ten months after submitting it to the WordPress Theme Directory, my number one goal with Nuovo finally got checked off. In the early hours of Tuesday morning, Nuovo was finally accepted into the WordPress Theme Directory and is available for anyone to download and use.

    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.
