New Blog, Whats your thought.

[theENIGMATRON]

With Daz getting a new domain for the blog,
i thought it would of been a good idea to give it a new look.

It needs a little more work doing to it.

But of course more important, what are your thoughts on it?

Can you see any tweaks or changes that need making

[DJ-Daz]

I've tweaked the catagories, they make sense now.
but the featured video has to go:

I've also created a new icon for desktops, it just wants adding and resizing.

The main blog table needs widening by about 200px too, some posts over run into the right hand pane

Okay ill sort them,
Will replace Featured Vid with Adds or something when setup, Ill just remove it,
Change the Featured Image size on the blog now.

So any posts you make and add a Featured image,
Make sure its a decent resolution as you will see on the Ipad mini post.

Idea is it dont look stupid with Featured image, and then a normal image.

So Main image is Featured image.
Then use your other images in a post as normal.

hmmm cant load it at the moment getting a blank page

a minor quibble from me is and this really is minor daz is im not a huge fan of the logo, i know you put the shout out to design one and i thought about having a go, i still might even though you have one now.

pedantic twunt arnt it

[DJ-Daz]

if you mean the one I have as my avatar... that's not the logo, that was just a very quick mockup of an idea.

[theENIGMATRON]

Yes you could not access it, i was editing the index file and missed a ;
So bombed out

[theENIGMATRON]

Okay i dont see any overlay issues,
Can you post some examples please.

-Added Exclusion list to the Nav Bar, Features will not show. (Required to know the ID number and alter code in header.php Will add features to Theme options)
-Altered all Featured Images to be 600 x 400
(Need to look at centring images for portrait)
-Centered Blank space to stop Text falling inlign with images if image is too small i.e. Portrait images
-Removed the Featured Videos, Will add Adds in here when ready

remove featured image from post, it's only creating a duplicate and breaking the layout too

Can you provide me with any examples.
as it worked fine for me.

Send me a LINK to where the issue is, It should not break the layout and should not be duplicating.

[theENIGMATRON]

Its okay i found it, after my major typos!!!

Anyway okay quick way to sort this.

Run a sequal and remove all content in featured images.
And from the day the sequal is ran,
You then dont use a Image as the opening of a post,
Only use Featured images.

The way to clean it up.

Issue is because Featured images is being used
and the opening of the post is a image.

I dont know if i can even bodge up a statement to say
If Featured image dont show post images or the other way around.

Either way it can be cleaned up instead of removing featured images.

As to be honest without it, you have no fixed way to show a preview of a post and images, and will not look constistant and messy

[YorkshirePud]

well i might try to mashup a logo

[DJ-Daz]

I've stopped the featured image from displaying in the post:

Code: Select all

                               <?php if ( function_exists("has_post_thumbnail") && has_post_thumbnail() ) { the_post_thumbnail(array(600,400), array("class" => "alignleft post_thumbnail")); } ?>

from single post.php
