The Daily Bits

You have have noticed that the design of this blog has changed. I was feeling cramped with the old layout. I converted it from a fixed width to a fluid design. With this also goes the digg news and del.icio.us stories. I have also made the entrys on the right hand side display horizontally to conserve page space. With this extra space I plan to put some widgets/badges. I’ll also be putting a RuneWire widget once that is up and running.

Please also note that all RS pictures will be uploaded to my RuneWire profile. You can also subscribe to the rss feed. I’m also looking into making a gallery page with all of the 400 odd shots I’ve taken in the last 3 years. That should be fun

Edit: Turns out the sidebar is broken in ie -.- Reverted to original until I can fix this P.O.S.

I’ll start off with noting that I have finished most of the customizations I have set out to make on this theme. I’m really starting to like it now. Let me explain a bit about it. On the left we have my Digg stories that I have dugg and my del.iciou.us links. In the right sidebar we have the typical wordpress stuff, categories, search, links, and archives. In the top navigation bar we have links to all of the other RSBandB major projects. We also have links to the oh so important RSS feeds. I have put two feed links in. One for the general feed and one for the Runescape Pictures as I know many people come here just for that. Anyways onto Flashy Friday.

Finally a game that I can say is fun and not annoying! This game is one in which you use your keyboard arrows to control a tiny car. The car has realistic momentum so it just doesn’t stop when you lift up off the gas. It’s quite fun… You can play it here.

I’ve spent the better part of the day today working on tweaking this new theme. It’s based on a mix of two other themes, ‘easy’ and ‘black’ hence the name ‘easy black’. You can find more info about them down in the footer. I quite like the way this is turning out. There is still lots to be done…

For instance I’m not sure what to do for my problem relating to the highly coveted Runescape pictures. The problem that I sometimes encounter is that the photos disappear too quickly. Who knows I may just end up making a page where you can go to see them I’ve also added a left sidebar which will be populated tomorrow with some features that I abandoned back in February. The pixel icons for post/comment need to be adjusted so that they no longer have a white border. I hope I can adjust these…

Finally you’ll see an addition of a top navigation bar… sorta. It won’t be any fancy tabs or anything but it’ll get the job done. I’ll also be doing some severe looking back and re-categorizing posts into fewer categories. My dugg stories will also go into their own category, probably something along the lines of “Dugg.”

Anyways that’s all for now, time to kill some people
