Lots of new changes!

I hope you like the new theme to my site! I have been working on it for a long time now, and I have been really making good use of the WordPress features. The new and improved sidebar, with thanks to Melissa’s tutorial, now changes according to whatever page of the site you are on. This is one feature about my new theme that I really love, so I hope it is of good use to you.

I also have rollovers for the site navigation. They are only simple rollovers, but I will hope to do more interesting ones in the future. I just wanted to start off simply so that the tutorial on how to make the rollovers was easy to understand, as it isn’t completely simple at first.

I have also made the post categories more generic and for more specific topics I have created tags for each blog post. The Archives page is now improved. This is the page where you can view all posts by month, category or tag.

A Gravatar will now show up next to each comment. If you don’t have one, then the default one I have made will appear instead. There are also clickable smilies with the comment form that you can insert into your form. The pink similes are made by me

I have also got a new Guestbook which is powered by BellaBook and my ask and answer page should look better in Internet Explorer as I fixed the coding. That leads me onto say that parts of my theme don’t look as good in Internet Explorer as browsers like FireFox and Flock, but I coded the theme as much as I could to get it looking OK. But if there is anything on my site that is not showing up properly, feel free to contact me and I will try to sort it out.

I think that’s mostly everything, but also I have made some new tutorials and I am still currently making some brand new web icons in replacement to the old icons which I will try to put up soon.

That’s everything about my site, so I will update on what I have been doing over the past week. Well, I have finished school after my exams now, so I am on a really long school holiday Last week I had an induction day at college, which was alright apart from getting lost when going to most of the classrooms (but the teachers helped me find the way so that was fine in the end :D) and I now have a piece of homework to do which is really annoying But I am have already started it and so I will try and finish it by the end of this week.

My dance show is this Friday and Saturday evening. I am really looking forward to it So I probably won’t be blogging or updating after this post until next week some time.

I think I should stop typing now I hope you like the new theme!

The new theme looks lovely!! I love the brushes on the corner, so cute!
I’m thinking about getting wordpress, but I don’t know yet. Seems pretty cool though, with all the features and plugins.
I remember how hard it was to do image rollerovers, it really frustrated me lol. Can’t wait to see more advanced ones on your site
