thesis theme

Trying out the new Thesis version 1.5 theme for WordPress. Easy upgrade path but looks like some things broke. My customized navigation bar up to no longer shows all my pages and RSS Subscribe, Email, and Twitter links.

The “teaser” function seems pretty cool to changeup the number of full posts and short teasers seen on the home page. Right now I have 6 full posts shown on the home page then other posts are shown as teasers below these. Scroll down a bit and you’ll see the teaser excerpts. I may go back to full posts on the home page, still playing with the new features of Thesis you know.

Some of my fonts also look different. The tagline of “Addicted to Passions and Pulp” seems smaller and the Google ad’s font doesn’t match anymore.

Out of time for now. More experimenting and learning later.

One more thing, to help control the amount of Spam comments, I set comments to automatically close after 30 days.  So if you don’t say you’re peace in one month, too bad!

Made a few small changes to Pulpconnection which uses the great Thesis theme. In the rightmost sidebar, I added a section to display recent links saved to my Delicious account. You’ll see the “Delicious” section under the “What I’m Doing…” area displaying my tweets.

I added a Facebook plugin to integrate Facebook with Pulpconnection, but it doesn’t seem to be working. 🙁

To better track comments, I installed the Subscribe to Comments plugin. For each post, you can now get notified via email of any new comments.

Lastly, the Thesis theme was just updated to version 1.5, and I’ll probably upgrade to that soon enough. So you may be seeing even more changes.
