Roo Ray !!!

So here we go again. A few new things to look at and some things that are always around. I hope everyone doesn’t mind, but i like to use this place a sort of a testing ground for new ideas that i have. Design, Concepts, Form and Function.

There is a little bit of Visual Updates, I tried to keep things similar and build off what I already have. Most of the Update is in the background. I’ve been working diligently on organizing Functions and incorporating Standard Blogging Tools into my themes With out the need of Plugins.

Have fun and let me know if you find any Mistakes.

Today’s To Do

Todays To Do’s really arnt that bad. My latest project had its points of mind numbing configuration, but i got though it and figured it out. Everything is solid, and now it’s time for all the add-ons and extras to go in.

One of the greatest things about designing for the blog platform is that once you’ve created a function (as long as its built properly) with CSS you can take it and apply it to [...] Read More

Theme Construction

I would just like to announce that our Original Poster Boys ‘MercyMe’ have had another revision of the their ever expanding Blog. This is one of my favorite parts of my job. Also, one of my favorite parts of the way web2.0 and blogging has redefined the way we view the web and its content.

With ever changing content and updates that roll in about every week, it seems like we are always having to find [...] Read More

A little WP 2.5

I decided the other day to go ahead and go for it. I upgraded my WP to 2.5 even though it’s still a little raw. I thought that i would go ahead and get a feel for it so i could be up to par with what going to be the new WP standard. This way i’ll know if i should be using it for my clients or waiting for a better version.

There are a [...] Read More

Sneak Peak

WP2.5 Release Candidate 1

There is finaly something to play with. I have yet to do any real testing and checking. Im just a little to tired and wore out to get seriously involved, but I can tell you this much. You might actually get some use of the Dashboard.

Here’s what they had to say about it.

The Dashboard’s most important role is to inform quickly and get you to where you’re headed in the admin. In [...] Read More

WordPress Development

For those out there with Wordpress under the key board, there is a new version coming out. Im excited to see it, but im also a little concerned. If your still with wordpress.com then your set and you’ll be getting all the major beni’s right off. For those of us SelfHosting Wordpress people there’s always something to watch out for.

I always love that huge red lettering of This function has been deprecated. Thats really all [...] Read More

What makes a Good Theme? #2

Over the last month Ive really put out an extra effort to going out and looking through alot of blogrolls. I’ve also gone to certain blogs where i know they get alot of comments and from there ive clicked on every commenter to go see what they look like.

What does your blog look like? Is it like mine? Plane, lots of links and a narrow readers column, 3 easily noticeable facts of my Theme. [...] Read More

What makes a Good Theme?

Over the last month i built about 10 to 15 different themes, I’ve trashed about 5 of them and had to rebuild about 5 others. There are only about 3 or 4 that are actually being used.

Layout, Color, Form over Function, Ledgability, User Friendly, and most important does the owner actually like it?

Ive come to realize that just about everything has been done already. Rounded corners, dropshadow, lines, fonts, colors; you get the point. But, [...] Read More
