It’s been 864 days since the old “pink” theme went live on Reina Gibbs, so I figured a new look was long overdue. Unfortunately, that meant upgrading the blog software, too. Doing one can be a bit of a chore, but both was a bit more time-consuming than I considered.
I’ve been working on Reina’s new look for a while now. It’s largely a cross of my own artwork with the excellent Typograph theme by PinkandYellow.com (other influences from here and here).
I still have a little housekeeping yet to do, including:
- restoring the Contact page
- implementing ThickBox (for pop-up pictures and pages) - until I do this, clicking on pictures in some of the older posts will open them in a new window.
- restoring her older videos - I had these in a separate page in the old design. Not sure yet what I’ll do with these. I will be posting all new videos on YouTube and embedding them in blog posts
- general clean-up - I was only able to do a short round of testing on this theme. There are a few features I still need to look over.
In any case, this is Reina’s new theme - called Toddler Comic. What do you think?
I’ve done everything except restore the videos. This may take a bit of time, as I’m not sure how I want to go about doing it. I may just make a page with all of them on it… It’s on my list of things to do.
