The second blogcast by Twisted Nether is up It’s a packed program that I’m still listening to as I post. Last week’s blogcast was good but this is miles better! I can’t wait for next week already.
In other news, I am slaving over a new theme for this blog. It’s been a long time since I did any html coding so progress is slow *sighs* I found a great resource for teaching the steps involved in creating a WordPress theme; there is a series of tutorials that takes you through the whole process at WPDesigner. The tutorials also have a link to a site that shows you how to have WordPress running on your PC which makes the process a lot easier.
Of course no tutorial in the world can save me from doing really stupid stuff! Last night I was trying to get rid of the border that was showing up on images that were links. I thought I knew what to do and amended my CSS file but it didn’t work so then I started Googling a solution. I found half a dozen different ways to do it and none of them work and I was getting more and more frustrated. In the end I decided to leave it and concentrate on something else instead. I was scouring the CSS file for a chunk of code I knew was in there but it wasn’t there! That’s when I noticed I was editing the backup copy of the CSS file *sighs* I opened up the correct version, made my change to fix the image border and the first thing I’d tried worked. I’d wasted at least 2 hours working on the wrong file. Sometimes I think if brains were dynamite, I wouldn’t have enough to blow my hat off!
Thanks! We worked hard to make this episode a good one. (To tell you a secret, I can’t wait for next week’s either)
