So, you’ve seen the new flisterz:blog. Let’s talk about it for a while.
Basically it is not a new design after all. I’m still loving the previous theme – the concept and the arrangement – but I thought it is time to clean some things up. I decided to remove unncessary parts. As you can see, there is no more ‘Short notes’ and ‘Current Tunes’ section on the main page. I also added the Twitter updates on the home page – has been thinking of adding this for a very long time though.
Although the design is almost similar to the previous one, I decided to code the theme from the ground up, again. The old code, especially the CSS, is a total mess oh. I wrote a new one, all together. I am very particular about this kind of thing. I know, it is stupid, as nobody is looking at the code anyway. But I just have to do it. You know, with CSS, you learn new tricks and techniques all the time. This is where I need to apply it onto my own website. So, it is a new theme, with almost similar design. Kind of 
Well, I did some major changes in the single view as well. It has a wider area for text and images now, and no more Advertlets ads! Well, at least for now. haha. And don’t you love the author comment? haha (It is kinda embarrassing though). Other than that, the archive page is also styled differently now – a cleaner look with no excerpt. For the search result view, I still have to put the excerpt so you can find things easily.
What I love the most in this new theme updates is the Pages. Check out all my pages, especially the About page. It looks cooler than the old boring one. View the Full Archive and Contact page as well. For the WP Themes page, I still need to change few things. And yeah, I removed the Works page. Not gonna update it anyway.
For the first time, I’m using CSS conditional to cater for the IE6 users. Since I’m using some PNG transparency, I need to do something else for IE users (yes guys, IE6 doesn’t support transparency, naturally). So if you are using that freaking Internet Explorer, mind you that you are seeing things differently – in a not so cool way. Trust me.
Help me
I need some help from all of you. I only tested this theme on Mac (Firefox 3.0.3 and Safari 3.1.2) and Windows XP (Firefox 3, IE6 and Chrome). If you are using other browsers on other platforms, and found any problem with the sites, let me know. Thanks!
