Damn… the internet explorer problem with this website was really stupid.

After months I had some time and an intuition to find wich it was the real problem, and I resolved it.

Internet Explorer Sucks.

I worked a lot on this theme, but honestly I don’t know how to describe it.

WordPress is an amazing publishing platform, and the more I use it the more I know it.
Customization is the key of the modern business, expecially if we talk about the web.

A WordPress theme should provide some features that the other themes don’t provide, but cause the customization of a WordPress website is strictly connected to the plugins you use, I’m a bit stuck on what to do to make this theme downloadable by other people.

The best theme I saw until now, browsing the deep web of WordPress, is SandBox.
SandBox embraces completely my filosofy of web… to change behaviour of a website just changing it’s stylesheet.

I think that I will publish my theme when it will be completely SandBox-compatible, cause it is a (small) standard and I like standards.

However, this theme haves also it’s features, so I will need to extend SandBox someway.

Features of this theme actually are:

• The possibility to create a multi-menu with categories and pages in the same branch.
  For example, my album galleries 2007 is a page, and it’s in the same branch (photography) of camera reviews that is a category.
  The trick is done with the plugin “top-level-categories” plugin and with a xml reading-parsing of the menu, that is doable by the user in the administrative panel.
  So, the user can create it’s own menu that is called with a WordPress-like function inside the theme itself.
  My structure for example is “post-category-page” so I have the posts links, the category links, and at the end all the pages of the same branch.

  This feature comes also with a widget (menu) that displays “on request” in the sidebar the same menu I’m using on the top.

• The widgets contains more than one widget each, that is more a customization than a feature, my problem was that the single widgets (searchform, category listing, display recent images, ecc.) wasn’t enough for me cause they would have produced a lot of html code and I liked the actual “navigation-look-menu-links” structure of my sidebar.

  In the future, I want to provide a “widget-group” plugin for everyone that accomplishes this task.

  At least it’s in the wish-list.

• Also a stilesheet switcher (that you can try in the “look” menu) allows the final-user to change and select the style he prefers.
  That was always been a mine fad, and now I fell comfortable with that solution.
  The secondary style that I actually provide sucks, but it’s here just to show-off it can be done.

Be patient…
One day I will publish that theme, in the meantime, if you’re interested in having it, you can contact me.

I love this website.
I worked on it very hard.

I used WordPress to do it, and I customized it doing myself the theme and installing a lot of plugins that I will describe elsewere.

One day I will publish this theme, but not now.
It is not finished yet… and I have to change a lot of things (like I did today with the menu) to allow people to use it with any content.

For now, I just want to relax and use it, cause I need to write and publish my photos.
