Simplifying

By Tetanus
Sep 30, 2009, Wednesday //

I have long wanted to remove the sidebar on this blog. Today, the compulsion gnawed at me all day, and so I did.

Suddenly, the content takes center stage, and having nothing except these posts on the page is like a breath of fresh air.

I like it.

Because it becomes less about who writes the words or takes the image than what is written or captured, and because it represents the first step towards the eventuality that hangs in the air. To you, it may be merely a design tweak. A random one, even.

But if you know me well enough, you’ll know I don’t do random. Something is brewing on the horizon…

There’s something about the P2 theme

There’s something about this P2 theme that I like. Maybe it’s because the default font is Helvetica Neue, or maybe it’s the Twitter-inspired look and feel.

P2 Theme

The P2 theme is really nice from a blog author’s point-of-view, with its AJAX-like live updates of posts and comments, and the post box up there at the top of the main body is really nifty.

But I was just alerted to the fact that this theme doesn’t scale well when viewed on the iPhone; you can’t double-tap to zoom in and out. Bugger.

The screengrab on the left shows how the P2 theme loads in Mobile Safari. It doesn’t reflow to fit the iPhone screen, and double-tapping to zoom out doesn’t work, unlike the Sandbox theme as seen in the screengrab on the right.

I’ll leave this on for a couple of days and see if the cannot-zoom-in-iPhone problem bugs me or not. Considering how I blog from only my iPhone these days, it probably will.

Fuck it; the inability to zoom is really annoying, so it’s back to the old theme. That, and the fact that all of you have made it loud and clear your dislike of the new theme. But I’m liking Helvetica Neue too much I’m slipping it into the previous layout.

Ok, business as usual…

This poll is now closed since I’ve already reverted to the previous layout.

Thank you all for the feedback.

Regarding those protected entries

To each and everyone who has written in requesting the password to those protected entries, I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you. Those posts are for my eyes only.

So why post them onto the main page? It’s for my convenience, really.

In some rare instances, some of them will be for a select few. If you are one of them, you’d already know the password.

A guest in the house

If you see a couple of posts bearing an author name other than my own, don’t worry; my blog hasn’t been hijacked.

Mr. John Bickerstaff, an iPhone developer who has joined the WordPress for iPhone development team, has graciously offered to help me trace down a configuration problem that I’m facing with the app, so he’ll be poking around here a bit for a couple of days.

It’s business as usual.
