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!

  • La charge mentale du funambule03.03.2026
    Aujourd’hui j’ai compris que je devais laisser tomber ce jeu d’équilibriste qui consiste à essayer d’en faire autant que possible mais pas trop. On parle de baisser la barre, et j’ai beau l’avoir baissée tellement de fois que sa position initiale semble sur une autre galaxie, je me heurte encore et encore à la réalité … Continue reading "La charge mentale du funambule"
  • All My Good Intentions02.03.2026
    Do you know the line? “All my good intentions don’t add up to very much…” It’s been coming and going in my mind since 1997, probably. There is a mismatch between intentions and actions. Always has been. Always will be. The world is too small for our intentions. They’re always struggling to get out there … Continue reading "All My Good Intentions"
  • Fed Up01.03.2026
    “I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired.” Yeah, that pretty much sums it up. I am not dealing with my Christmas relapse, or recovery setback, or whatever one calls it, very well. When you’re on a long recovery and finally feel like your head is starting to be above the water, life is … Continue reading "Fed Up"
  • Un an de Juju26.02.2026
    Le 3 février 2025, je rentre du judo et je descends récupérer Oscar à l’eclau. Il aime rester installé sur la plate-forme devant la chatière condamnée: bonne vue sur le jardin, et effluves de l’extérieur. En arrivant, je suis surprise par un matou gris et blanc de l’autre côté de la vitre. Je le surprends … Continue reading "Un an de Juju"
