Re: animeblog.nl

Just for the fun of it I made another 1.3.6 offering: http://oppai.animeblog.nl/

Edit: a Child Theme nowadays.

Re: animeblog.nl

Just for the fun of it I tried to figure out a way to make an infamous 'Hot or Not' section for a WordPress blog. This is the result.

It doesn't work the way I want because the 'random redirector' plugin by Matt Mullenweg has the irritating ability to let the next random post be itself so it can happen pressing next will give you the same image three times in a row. I'm still trying to figure that one out.

Re: animeblog.nl

Hey extatix.

How did you get the forum into your site? And how did you make a subdomain and use it?

Re: animeblog.nl

This pretty much was a stand alone forum. If you want a new forum I'd suggest: http://simple-press.com/

Re: animeblog.nl

I was thinking about upgrading my animeblog to 1.4.2, but I was also toying around with placing the sections of the homepage on different places as opposed to the standard theme. While 'm not satisfied with the (test) result this is basically the idea I'm toying around with:

Re: animeblog.nl

I like the new layout.  Some cool stuff.  Could you help me with a problem?  I implemented your hover effects on the post previews on my homepage.  When you hover over the one on the far right (#3 and #6) it messes with the layout.  Can you help figure out how to fix it?

Thanks.

Re: animeblog.nl

That's odd. I've tried a couple of things and I really don't get why it does that.

Re: animeblog.nl

It's finally done. I've upgraded my main blog from 1.3.6 to 1.4.3rc-1. Didn't change much in the general look of things, same colors but a little bit of different lay-out on the frontpage. I'm not sure about a couple of things, they might change over time. The result.

Re: animeblog.nl

Added a third custom taxonomy 'anipedia', which will serve as some sort of glossary.
It's located between the content and the comments:
http://www.animeblog.nl/2394/minami-ke/

Clicking on it will lead to an archive which show a manually added display type (Zy, tapestries.php was a touch of genius).
http://www.animeblog.nl/anipedia/kotatsu/

Still need to add many more entries, but I like the possibilities of wordpress and custom taxonomies.

Re: animeblog.nl

I'm not satisfied with my current lay-out. I like the idea of putting the categories on different places as the 'norm' but it has it's disadventages. I'm going to switch back to a more standard lay-out in the next few days.

With 4 extra featured categories though.

Re: animeblog.nl

And done http://www.animeblog.nl

4 Extra Featured Categories.
All 8 nodes (which are 4 featured categories) have their own background image
2 custom display types (both are on the front page, the last two sections)
A small sidebar on the frontpage next to the slideshow, all other pages/posts have the 'big' sidebar.

I'm pleased with it, more as the last version.

Re: animeblog.nl

Replace a non-Arras themed site with an Arras Child Theme (Kuro, the one from the tutorial about Child Themes)

Awesome child theme!
I read through this thread, perhaps too quickly... did you explain how you did the background rotation / switching?  Or, am I just crazy thinking that I thought I'd seen a different background image at one time?

Thanks,
joe

Re: animeblog.nl

No, you have it correct. It uses a little script for that.

Re: animeblog.nl

And yet another update: http://www.animeblog.nl/

I didn't like the small slideshow with the widgets next to it so I wrote a quickie plugin for a new slideshow. It uses the the thumbnail as a background image so I can add -moz-border-radius to it for rounded corners.

But after writing it I was reminded my hack job with the front page was a bit misaligned so I did some little tweaks to make it somewhat better. It's still not aligned well but that's a concern for a later time.

Edit: Link to NC Slideshow Plugin
