I’ve just activated a new theme that I have been working on. There are probably going to be some broken links, bugs and some modifications (like the masthead) but I’m pretty pleased with it so far. I developed this one from the ground up.

A couple of features that I like:

• the images in the masthead change (with ajax)
• the font size can be changed by the viewer and stored in a cookie

Things I need to fix:

• the About link
• the fonts in the category box
• the masthead
• the number of tags in the tag cloud
• spacing for short block quotes
• gap at the top of the footer in IE
• comment count on pages
• 404 page
• add a decay to the masthead images
• fix previous and next entry links at bottom of the page

I’ve made a number of small updates to the Copperleaf Plus theme.

• Added support for manual subscription if using subscribe-to-comments plugin.
• Changed from deprecated function wp_list_cats to wp_list_categories.
• Added support for “Identify External Links” plugin.
• Moved option defines to theme options page.
• Improved performance by reducing comment database queries.

I’ve made a small update to the Copperleaf Plus theme that will allow it to work with Wordpress 2.1.

I’ve made a small update to the Copperleaf Plus Theme that fixes a few div tags that could cause problems with plugins like FAlbum.

Ok. I’ve released another patched version of the Copperleaf Plus Theme. There was a javascript bug in the handling in the sidebar expanders with Konqueror and Safari. Check it out.

Basically, there is code that does something like

var img = new Image(9,9);
...
somediv.appendChild(img);


This resulted in an exception being thrown by Konqueror and Safari. The fix was to change it to

var img = document.createElement('img');
...
somediv.appendChild(img);


I’ve just release an update to the Copperleaf Plus Theme. This update now includes a 404 page, better support for customization, and a few CSS tweaks. Check it out.

I’ve made a handful of changes to the site. The biggest is the move to incorporate tags using Ultimate Tag Warrior. There is now a section of the sidebar for tags. Tags are similar to categories, but are a little more freeform.

I’ve also made a handful of interface changes to the site. The sections of the sidebar can now be collapsed and their state is remembered so when you come back they will be the way you left them. I’ve also reworked some of the post and comment layout to make it a bit cleaner.

Lastly, I’ve made a couple of plugins I use available for download for anyone who wants to play with them. They are available in the projects section of the sidebar.
