I’ve changed the theme to be more readable than the previous, particularly in the reply chains. I’m still looking for potentially better layouts, particularly for comment threads. If you have feedback, or better ideas on WordPress templates (keep in mind, I am disinclined to do more than hit the ‘install’ button on one), then the comment thread here is where to give feedback. Once I find something that I (and or whoever comments) likes, I’ll then replace whatever key art is in the template.
Also, I’ve been importing my old blog posts from my old blog into this one. I am now up to late 2007, otherwise known as ‘the last round of console wars have entered full flame’. Also, it was right before the first round of post-WoW MMOs came out, so you can still taste the optimism.
It seems like there’s a lot more to go, but my blogging really slowed down in around 2010 or so, so I’m pretty sure I’m through the worst of it.
I think the theme is nice. I use the ‘find’ tool in my browser to locate different comments. Usually searching by name. The display is also fine on my iPhone in both landscape and portrait view.
Side note: Yeah what happened with MMOs, seemed there was time when everyone thought ‘these games are going to change everything’. Now it feels more like ‘ok how is this one going to try and trick money out of me.’
Not a fair sentiment for all MMOs but it is accurate I think for a lot of them.
I use Suffusion on my blog. It is a megatheme that gives you a pile of pulldown menus for customizing layouts, etc. Very powerful, but doesn’t leave you handcoding CSS.
All comments are just sealioning anyway so why bother?*
* = This is what some people really believe
I am disappointed by the lack of boobplate in your theme 😉
Sorry couldn’t resist.
Would an associated forum be a better way of communication or would that require more active moderation?
Forums always take more moderation, at least if you allow users to create their own threads.
