Theme Update

(this post was written by Kyle on May 10, 2007, and it concerns & & & )

Well, it’s that time of the month again. With my grad-school requirements all taken care of for the semester, I finally found the hours I needed to install and tweak a new theme for Fluid Imagination. Can you say “new and improved icon system?” (and broken “Asides” too?).

The last one was all right, but I had a big issue with the way the icons were squishing the text and for the last few weeks, it’s been really bothering me. I knew they way I wanted the icons to work, but I couldn’t for the life of me get to happen. So…I decided to change everything.

The first thing you’ll notice is that the icons are now rectangles, as opposed to the 250×250 squares that they were. They second thing you’ll notice is that I haven’t updated all the icons yet, so if you go back through the archived posts, you’ll probably come across a bunch that still use the square icon. Don’t worry, I’ll get to each and every one of them.

The next thing you’ll notice is that the Asides thing isn’t really working. I’ve been playing with it for a few hours now, but with very little success. I’ll try to give it another go later this week, but I want to warn you: The change may be rather drastic. And no, I have no idea what that means.

That should be about it though. I mean, a blog’s a blog’s blog, and there’s only so many variations an amateur developer can think up. With that being said, I’d love to hear your feedback.

As always, thanks for paying attention.
