New blog theme

May 7th, 2008 by Chris

What? You can’t see any difference? Well, you shouldn’t but believe me when I tell you that the code is COMPLETELY different.

I’ve converted our theme into the modern WordPress era by Widget-izing the sidebar. Yeah, I know, you don’t really care, but this will make it easier for us to tailor the site to our whims and change the look from time to time.

I also had to create a brand new WordPress widget to support the Gallery Image Block you see on the left. This will be my first ‘real’ submittal to a project like WordPress, so it will be interesting to see how that process goes. It’s written as a plugin which activates the widget (like most widgets are).

If you care, you can read more about the External Gallery 2 ImageBlock Widget.

    Thanks for the External Gallery2 Image Block Plugin but I have errors trying to install it. I posted the issue at http://wordpress.org/support/topic/207945 and would appreciate if you could have a look at it. Thanks.
