I implemented a new theme today. I also modified it a bit, since the original had functionality that didn’t interest me (like ads and a very prominant “subscribe via email” html form that I don’t want to support). I had to add a navigation strategy to the “pages” which required that I hunt up a CSS tutorial on how to do what I wanted to do. (And let me tell you, there really is no easier tutorial than this australian authored tute.)
Lastly, I had to learn a little bit about WordPress template tags so that I could add edit links to each page/post template and also how to dynamically generate the navigation content.
I’m very pleased with the revisions. I still want to teach myself how to build a drop down menu using CSS, but it’s not been a higher priority than some of the other activities on my list.
