Tag: fat footer

Digital Spring Cleaning [en]

[fr] Nouveau design pour Digital Crumble, et quelques nettoyages de printemps pour Climb to the Stars (notez l'allègement du menu de navigation et des barres latérales, et l'apparition d'un gros pied de page truffé de liens et d'infos.

I’ve played about a bit with Climb to the Stars and Digital Crumble. It’s nice to dip one’s hands in a little HTML, CSS and PHP every now and again.

So, what have we got?

Digital Crumble has a brand new design. Whiter than the last one, but with enough pink to make me happy. (I customized it just a little.)

As for Climb to the Stars, the sad state of my sidebars had been bringing me down for months, so I finally decided to do something about it. I found a tutorial for adding a fat footer to Thesis and tried it out. I have to say that one thing I like about the Thesis theme I’m using here is the number of tutorials lying around to make just about any customization you can think of.

So, a lot of stuff that used to clutter up the sidebars is now in the fat footer at the bottom of each page.

While I was at it, I decided to have only one sidebar instead of two, and cleaned up the navigation bar at the top (most of the extra stuff is now in the footer). I also found a tutorial for moving the search form into the site header (and out of the sidebar!)

I had to fiddle around with both tutorials (mainly the CSS) until I got something I liked. I hope you’ll like it too!

    A friendly colleague I share some geeky interests with told me today I was courageous to announce my blogging intentions yesterday. I told him “not that much”, because if I didn’t stick to my declaration of intent, it’s not something I’d feel terribly bad about. Writing that quick post yesterday made me feel a bit … Continue reading "Today is Tomorrow"

Well, I figured I’d close some tabs before writing, because I have windows full of tabs … Continue reading "I’ll Write Tomorrow"

Ou le mois passé, ou hier, et aujourd’hui? Ce sont des questions qui m’ont poursuivie concernant Quintus, et maintenant Oscar, de façon toutefois assez différente. Autre chat, autres maladies, … Continue reading "Oscar: planifier la fin"
