After a strong hard programming ActionScript afternoon, I return here to fix some last details before i really start go deeper…
Put content on various pages is a quite time-consuming procedure. And since I’m still a bit sick I soon got dizzy and tired. Well, still I worked on it for about 3-4 hours late eve.
First of all I did upload some of my own pictures for the header. I’m thinking to use winter pics of Stockholm, as this project is going on in deepest winter times.
In the meanwhile I discovered a little bug in “Widget Logic Visual”: When try to show a widget on Posts page it appears only on the permalink of each posts and not on the general Post page. And I think I know why: Because WP is originally build as a blog, the Homepage refers to the general Posts page. Now That I have created a static page called Home, the Logic Visual mixes up those two. Let´s see if I can fix that later, for the moment I let it be as it is.
Today I worked some with the various widgets on the different pages. I funally got a result I’m somehow satisfied (for the moment with). I was using the “Widget Logic Visual” – thats somehow a bit slow, but still impressive
Earlier testings inserting media (pics):
Ok I want a bigger size pic, not just a thumbnail and I don’t want it linked to attachements, but to wp-content/uploads catalogue.
Let’s see…
That’s better 😉
Three days absorbed by ActionScript issues. And today feel a bit sick. So the project has been slowed down. But I’ll try to do as much as I can today, despite some fever.
I’m now into learning this CMS from “within” the Administration panel. I gave up the complex settings of Atahualpa theme and searched for a more simple theme that I later on could modify myself via Child Themes. A quick search on themes didn’t give me some satisfying results, so I reversed to the default Twenty Ten 1.3 which I started to work with.
I then put up several static pages, one for each module. I renamed the blog-part to Creation Process where I will try to post like a diarry how this process goes on. And I tried to put different widgets on the different pages, but fir this I seemed to need a plugin called “Widget Logic Visual” which I installed. In the same time I also got the Akismet API keye. I also installed the “Enhanced Admin Bar with Codex Search” to test it. I will now try to upload a screenshot of how far I have come until today.
OK 1.5 more hours and it´s time for lunch. Was looking videos how to customize the Atahualpa theme. But I reversed to Twenty Ten in order to be able to follow the school tutorials better. Now I start getting an idea of what CSS-child themes are and how to manage them. Next step I guess is how to modify the pure HTML-code. But that’s for tomorrow, in the evening there’s a lot of Actionsript 3 to dive into.
Very early in the morning and (minus) -14°C.
Woke up eager to start with WordPress tutorials. I have been waiting a long time for this course on WCMS. For sure it will be very useful for me.
I have been working quite a lot with WordPress the recent years, most on the behalf of my job-company’s website, and solely in the role of an Editor.
But now I will, in the role of Administrator, try to develop a whole site of my own.
So I start out very methodically reading from scratch, first newbie steps on WP.
Step by step, I’m trying to get more familiar with the common Interface, thus writing my first real posts.
But, the general idea is that the site will later change it’s now bloglike-appearance and have a more static touch. After all it’s a school project about “Multimedia for the Web“.
