PolyVector was talking to me the other day about how the Atomac’s theme was getting on his nerves. I admit that its charm has deteriorated the more I work on the site. While neither of us are designers that meant I had to go out looking for a tolerable theme for us to use. This is a harder task than one might think, so much junk out there, especially in the world of WordPress. After looking at my 100th whatever theme I finally decided Atomac needed to grow up and have a much more minimal look. I finally stumbled upon Pop Blue 3 Columns at Blog Oh Blog. Once I got it setup PolyVector was content and I was feeling much more at home with our new look.
If you have any questions or comments please feel free to express those. In the event anything is out of place or not working we would like to hear about those as well.
This is a very comfortable fit for Atomac… smart, well-organized, and cute…sort of like Skunkie herself!
Atomac’s new look is crisp, easy to read, simple to serf, and very professional. I noticed that photos don’t show up on the blogs on my windows or apple unless I go to ‘Photos’.
I am not exactly sure what you are talking about Parsnipper….could you perhaps tell me what photos on what article?
The two that came to mind were “What’s for dinner?” on 8/24/07, and “New Imac Keyboards!?” on 7/27/07. They both had pics on the initial display. But just before I did this comment, I clicked on the post title, and there were the pics that I was missing. My question is how will I know there are pics to go with the post if I don’t click on it?
Oh, I know what yer talking about now. That’s just because this template uses shorter summaries… I think Skunkie likes it that way for this style :)
PolyVector is exactly right. The new template for archive pages like when you click on a category or a month will display a short summary without images. The front page will always show the full article with images.
But yes essentially if you are browsing the archive you will have to click on the article title to see if there are pictures.
Perhaps I will check on changing that for the category article listing only. I do like that archive pages show a summary rather than the full article. makes it easier to browse through what you want to read.
Great new theme, I wish I could ask someone to update my wordpress theme too :(
That works fine with me. I just needed to know how to browse effectively. Thanks.
