Earlier Is Better

I decided to go for coffee a bit earlier today. Today’s bold blend is Komodo Dragon, one of my favorites.

Posting with the WP app I find that I am preferring the portrait mode versus the landscape mode. I’m finding the keyboard to be just a bit stretched out for my liking.

The Starbucks report: raining outside, dry inside; great cup of coffee; small gathering of professionals meeting and conducting business.

This is what I’ve been looking for to go with my Friday morning coffee.

New WordPress iPhone App version 1.2

As they promised the newest version is landscape enabled. This feature alone was almost enough to re-load the app; the truly enabling function though is the ability to remove a blog from the list.

I write to a minimum of three blogs that use the WordPress framework in either self-hosted or shared-hosted installations. These two simple innovations to the first version will bring me back to mobile blogging.

I am writing this as I sit at a Starbucks counter enjoying their daily bold blend of coffee. The clientelle today is an older crowd compared to last week’s visit; and, there does seem to be a more busy atmosphere as well.

In short: good coffee; less kids. The day is cool but beautifully sunny and it’s soon time to continue with my iPhone development project.

WordPress Theme Changes

I really like the current theme I am using. It was one of about ten or so WordPress themes I started with. Desk Mess has life; and, a good representation of some of my interests, hobbies and aspirations. I’ve kept the main header graphic intact for now, but may look at some adjustments to it in the future. Perhaps I will change the iPhone icons to look like my iPod Touch’s home screen. Maybe I will change the dancing unicorn image to something more relevant to my life. What’s with the orange in the cup?! It looks interesting, but I’m more a Chai person.

Currently I have made a few changes to some of the base theme PHP files and fixed some of the CSS used by the theme as well. I finished the code to create the second widgetized sidebar, essentially extending the length of the sidebar. I also limited the page list used across the top of the template to only show parent pages. Further adjustments to the graphic and other related code may be done in the future as the length of the page title is very limiting. I added a simple archives page that displays excerpts only, just in case Google is watching. The widget CSS for the standard calendar needed adjusting for a better aesthetic display in my opinion; and, a few other minor common alignment elements were added to round out the initial review.

Overall, I still like the theme and for that reason I posted previously the original author’s details so others may start with a “fresh” copy.

Tell me what you think in the comments section, and if you would like the minor modifications I have done for yourself let me know that too.
