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!

    C’est 21h11, il me reste un poil de temps, même si je suis trop raide. Mais tant pis. Ecrire c’est important, et si j’attends toujours que les conditions soient bonnes, eh bien j’attends. Aujourd’hui, Oscar galope presque après retour de sa dose de gabapentine à son habituelle (33mg matin et soir). Je suis soulagée, car … Continue reading "Et alors, aujourd’hui?"
  • Fits and Starts02.12.2025
    Heavens, what happened to blogging after 8pm? There was a week there where I seemed on a roll. I was also managing the rest of my life. And the small slice of work. It felt like it was working out. And these days I’m just too exhausted for pretty much anything. I looked back to … Continue reading "Fits and Starts"

    This is often the question. In typical ADHD style, my difficulty getting started on something is only surpassed by my difficulty stopping something once it’s started. So, 9pm on Sunday night, tired tired tired, can I grab my keyboard and give you some news without still being up at midnight? I challenge myself. Mid-October, I … Continue reading "Can I Write a Quick Blog Post?"

    Après l’introduction d’hier (enfin à l’heure de publication, c’est avant-hier), venons-en au menu principal: une collection de podcasts en série limitée, type documentaire en x épisodes, surtout en anglais (parce qu’il y en a moins en français, tout simplement). A écouter, bien sûr. Je ne les ai pas mis dans un ordre particulier, juste comme … Continue reading "Des “mini-podcasts” à écouter"

    Les podcasts et moi c’est une longue, longue histoire. Pour la petite histoire, je connais personnellement (déjà à l’époque) une des personnes-clés impliquées dans l’invention de ce mode de distribution du contenu audio. Comme pour WordPress, Twitter ou Instagram, c’est marrant de voir ces médias ou plateformes qui sont si “grand public” aujourd’hui et de … Continue reading "Les podcasts et moi"
