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!

    Another interesting observation following my return to Facebook: when somebody responds to one of my posts there, it definitely feels like the audience for this response is primarily the people I am connected to. What I mean by that is that I expect that my contacts have a chance of seeing that response, because responses … Continue reading "Who Will See My Comment?"

    What is happening for me right now is interesting. During my Facebook exile, I reconnected with the social networks that I had been present on in a very passive manner these last years. I also wrote more on my blog (here!), and made an effort to get back into reading other blogs, even though I … Continue reading "Where Have All The Bloggers Gone?"

Cette mésaventure (on va dire ça maintenant que ma “disparition” n’aura duré que trois semaines) aura eu le bénéfice de me faire … Continue reading "Sauvegarder des publications et fils de commentaires Facebook"

    My Facebook account is back, with as little explanation as when it was taken down. I had finished the dishes after lunch and was preparing to get to work writing part three of my thoughts on rebooting the blogosphere, when I saw a message from a friend telling me that I was back on Facebook. … Continue reading "Facebook Account Back After 21 Days"

    There is no draft mp3, because I’m using the phone “dictate instead of type” functionality! 😅
