Clarification – visual design of dosreis.de is based on subtraction

I got a comment from a visitor that my sandbox theme for wordpress is copied based on the design from Khoi Vinh. That’s absolutely right! I never wanted to rip of his site and claim the credits for me. When i started with the redesign of my site, i tried to adapt his design as best as possible. I fall in love with hits brilliant black and white design when i first saw his site.
To state it clear: All credits for the visual design go to Khoi Vinh! I order to give all the credits to Khoi Vinh, i added a link to his site in the footer section.

Redesign finished – mission accomplished

I’m so happy! As announced i switched from K2 to the Sandbox theme. The site now runs at blazing speed and the design is exactly what i was looking for.

I started on Tuesday evening and now the main part is finished. I had to edit some core template files inserting some additional php code snippets (statistics counter, pagebar, etc.). I heavily edited the CSS and fine tuned all the stuff. I spend two night sessions but i mean in the end the effort was worth it. I hope you like the redesign as well.

Btw. This entry was created with Windows Live Writer.

Server Problems

I’m a little bit pissed at the moment. Yesterday i noticed a little problem in the back-end admin interface from my wordpress installation, first it seems to be a plugin conflict. Sometimes it may happen that two plugins are not compatible with each other. Don’t ask me for deeper reasons but this can happen. After disabling all plugins and checking which plugin might be responsible for the fatal error message i quickly came up with Ultimate Tag warrior as the enemy. But it isn’t only the ultimate tag warrior plugin. I can reproduce the error with different plugins activated. Therefore i guess, it’s a memory limitation problem with the PHP installation. Perhaps i can solve the problem in the next couple of days.

Under construction

Don’t be afraid. I have everything under control. I’m just playing a little around with the latest SVN version of the K2 Theme for WordPress. Altough K2 is already one of the best available themes for WP it is just getting better and better. The latest version already support wordpress widgets. That’s absolutely awesome. You can now easily edit the content of the sidebar by easy drag & drop and extend the sidebar via plugins. A huge step forwards in terms of usability and simplicity. I have to create a new style sheet scheme and my litte relaunch is ready.

Btw. My Iran ISP is blocking flickr! 🙁 But that’s not the reason why you won’t see any pictures under ‘Photos’.

It’s done – WordPress 2.0 Upgrade

Yes! I’m a little bit proud of myself and the crew behind wordpress. They’ve done an awesome work in the last couple of months. WordPress 2.0 is working fine straight out of the box. No problems, no glitches, no downtime.
The new WYSIWYG Editor is nice and very comfortable but a little bit slow. I hope they will give it a performance boost in the future.

Just playing around with the new editor interface 🙂

Umstellung auf WordPress 2.0 + Update Theme

Der letzte Eintrag ist schon etwas her und nun habe ich einmal ein wenig Zeit gefunden, um den Blog zu aktualisieren. Ich werde heute damit anfangen und den Blog auf WordPress 2.0 upgraden und das Theme auch ein wenig umbauen. Da es teilweise zu Problemen (Spaltenbreite der Sitebar stimmt nicht) mit der flickr Gallery kommt, ist eine Aktualisierung des Themes zwingend angebracht.

Ich bin einmal gespannt was nachher funktioniert und was nicht. Meine bisherigen Erfahrungen raten mir eigentlich ganz klar ab von solchen Experiementen. Aber da die die Neugier doch einmal wieder größer ist als der Verstand werde ich ein Update wagen. Getreu dem Motto “Never touch a running system”. 🙂

Ausbau der Site – Bereich Culture

Ich habe mir einmal ein wenig Zeit genommen um mich etwas intensiver mit dem Amazon Media Manager Plugin für WordPress zu beschäftigen. Das hat natürlich mal wieder etwas mehr Zeit als erwartet in Anspruch genommen, weil ich mich mit den Parametern und dem Aufbau der Templates vertraut machen musste und am Ende sogar auch ein wenig in die Tiefen CSS/HTML eingetaucht bin, aber ich denke der Zeitaufwand hat sich gelohnt. Unter dem Bereich Culture finden sich nun aktuelle Empfehlungen aus dem Bereich Musik, Literatur und Videospiele. Eventuell werde ich noch die Video Rubrik hinzufügen.
