[fr] Comme lors de chaque mise à jour wordpress, c'est la prise de tête. Plugins, thèmes... il faut vraiment que je mette de l'ordre dans mon site!
Like each time I upgrade WordPress, I find myself facing the sprawling mess that my site has become, and the umpteen hacks made to template and plugins to get things working roughly how I want them.
So I think: time to clean up! Get rid of K2! re-write plugins, so they insert fun things in my themes without me having to put them in by hand all the time!
And then it all goes down the drain, because I try one theme, and another, and another, and none really fits, and I don’t want to yet again go through the half-dozen addition of template tags to make my blog bilingual and shiny. But I do want it bilingual and shiny, don’t get me wrong.
I want to use sandbox. I’d like to adapt my Basic Bilingual plugin so that it injects lang="fr" and lang="en" where necessary. I want a clean layout, and I still like my blue header image of Ouchy (pronounce “ooshee”, please).
I have tons of things in the sidebar, and they need to be laid out so they don’t look too cluttered (a challenge, yes, I know).
I want my tag pages to link to technorati, maybe show my flickr photos with the same tag, or my del.icio.us links.
I want ajax-ification so that I can correct spelling mistakes and add/remove tags without going to the admin interface (Inline Tag Thing looks promising, but I’m not sure I like the interface).
Sigh.
Maybe I should just start a CTTS design contest. Give out prizes. Something like that.
Or stop wanting to push my blogging tool where it isn’t yet? I don’t want to give up.
Update: for the curious, the temporary design is Diurnal, a sandbox skin. The colours change with the time of day — pretty neat in my opinion.
