Feedback please!

First off, let me make this very clear, the site design is not done. However, before I go any further, I’d like some feedback.

What do you think of the theme so far?

What should be kept and what should be replaced?

What about the colors? Too dark? Too light?

What about the logo?

The layout?

Keep in mind it is not done and I’ll be considering every piece of feedback I get. Just leave it in a comment below.

PS: Please note, if you don’t see your idea taken into consideration, it might be because it is not possible.

PPS: If you know anything about theme design and WordPress, the theme being used is a modification of the Garland theme if you wanted to take a look at how things work.

Update: Rolled out a small update, v0.2, which brings in a header fix, link colors, and menu items icon.

Some things I’ll be working on for 0.3:

  • Make the header more attractive. Not gonna lie, it’s pretty damn boring right now.
  • May or may not tweak the sidebars. If I do, it actually probably won’t make it in until 0.4.
  • Change the color of the body area. The white sticks out too much.
  • Minor footer tweak(s).

Slowly getting there…

Did a little more work today. Sidebars are now working, more links to affiliates have been added, a translator widget has been added, and WordPress is now working right after being upgraded to the 2.8 beta 2. That said, if the site breaks by mistake, you’ll know why ;)

I’ll be working on the theme this weekend and hopefully get it up (or at least part). Once that’s done, I’ll post season one again for listening and downloading.

Stay tuned for more!

First bit of site work done

I’ve knocked off the first bit of site work, basic setup, get a theme that’s not the boring default one (even if it does seem to be acting up ATM), and reup the podcasts. I may have to reinstall WordPress by hand as some things are freaking out on me, but I’ll probably just grab the 2.8 RC when it comes out. Links to the podcasts will go up hopefully soon but I want to get some design done first. They will be up before season 2 starts though ;)

Once again, thanks for your patience while I migrate the site over to new software.

Update: Found the freaking out issue. Old cache XD Or maybe not.. Whatever.
That said, if something new is announced and you’re not seeing it, try refreshing your cache. I’ve installed a plugin that caches the site’s pages so things go faster.
Thanks :)

Oh, hi there!

Looks like you caught the site in the middle of the transition period to being WordPress powered. I’m working on copying over all the old podcast files so please be patient. I hope to get the important stuff up soon and the custom design up soon after.

Thanks and welcome to the first of new features to come as a part of season 2 of the podcast!
