Gotta Get Your Hands Dirty
I really don’t like this current theme. Yes, this totally awesome Spider-Man 3 theme. It looks fantastic, but that’s because every time I add a new post or entry, or plug-in or widget or whatever, I edit the damn theme to show it up right! Eesh. I guess the theme developers didn’t really have nerds like me in mind. Not to mention the edits just to make it work with WordPress 2.2!
You should see the amount of effort it took just to transfer the content from my old website to this fancy smancy new one. I’ll be taking the old site down soon, so I figured now was a good time to get the content moved while I was still thinking about it.
I figure it is going to be time for a new theme soon. I never intended to keep this theme forever, just for the duration of May while the world sees Spider-Man 3. Come June I will be using a different theme and making changes and edits all over again! Hopefully on a more permanent basis.
I guess that is the way it is really. If you want you blog or website to function exactly the way you want it to, instead of just settling with the results it yields by default (regardless of the CMS you use), you really gotta get your hands dirty and edit the code. Otherwise you end up ditching a cool widget, just because the title heading is out of line or miss out on using a cool theme because the page content font is too small. It’s too bad really. I would love a CMS that was just perfect. Where I never had to edit the code.
I guess when it comes down to it, I like editing the code. So who am I to complain?
