Here’s what I accomplished today:
- completed the comments, search & page templates tutorial
- completed the archive, author, category & tags templates tutorial; again the author of the post didn’t explain some modifications to files
- completed the sidebar template
- uploaded all files & tested OK except nothing in sidebars w/o putting a widget in manually; should be populated by default
- downloaded all author code files; ran diff-merger to compare; found some differences; mostly not covered/explained by author; some significant; not seeing default sidebar widgets;
- completed the CSS tutorial & made minor mod’s for eye appeal
- compared my files, using DiffMerge, to the author’s Google files; found some differnces but not too many
Finishing the code was straight forward except for the sidebar. The author provided different code on his web page then what is in the finished code on Google. You may want to read some of the comments at the bottom of the sidebar page. You can see what the site looks like here: HighFXTest.com. The author provided 6 CSS style sheets that allow you to have a 1, 2 or 3 column site. The sidebars can be on the left, right or bottom. The sidebar is widgetized also. You can see it’s a basic blog style site witout any graphics or much styling.
On to the graphics and styling!
