Style Updates (Finally)

Apologies for being about three months alte with these updates.  Styling fixes for Stormy Horizon and Upstream Tokyo are finally out.  Problems with background coloring on trimmed advanced archive pages and comments are now fixed.  I’ve upgraded to Wordpress 2.6.1 and K2 RC7 and everything seems to be working as expected.

stormy horizon updates

I’ve got a few style fixes for Stormy Horizon coming down the pipeline, but I’ve got a lot of school stuff to deal with for the next few weeks, so they may not be out until after May 8.  A proper gallery for the themes is also in the works.

new front page

Yes, the new front page for rcboyce.com is live.  Content-wise, it should be almost identical to the old one, but hopefully you’ll still notice a difference. :)  I may need to rewrite some of my date-rendering code at some point, though…

early dec. update

Um, let’s go ahead and forget that that abortion of a fall theme ever happened. Back on Stormy Horizon, which should have a new release with some additional CSS fixes after finals next week. I’ll probably put together a nice winter-y theme sometime over semester break as well.

In other news, expect an attractive new front page for rcboyce.com featuring slightly more design work than a background gradient image.

k2 rc

K2 is hitting Release Candidate now, and there seems to be a need for some slight changes to my styles. As you can see on the blog, I’m working on a new fall-themed one at the moment, with fixes for the other three coming soon.

style fix

This dark theme thing is a bit more complex than I thought. :) Some fixes to comment styling in Stormy Horizon 1.1.

d2

There is new prettiness at the Robert Boyce Web Design site.  I’m also planning on adding my K2 styles to the portfolio at some point

I’ve got a full-time job this summer at the University of Illinois Extension doing web design/development/maintenance now, so my freelance work has taken something of a back seat to that for now.

wp 2.2 update

So there’s still no official K2 release for Wordpress 2.2.  There’s nothing that I can really do with my styles to address this issue.  Fortunately there is a plugin that disables the new Widgets feature of Wordpress that was causing the problem in the first place.  So, if you want to use K2 under Wordpress 2.2, this should fix any issues you have.

Download Disable WordPress Widgets plugin.

wp 2.2 compatibility

The current release of K2 isn’t compatible with Wordpress 2.2 without a few hacks, and so my themes aren’t quite, either. I’ll have new releases within the next two weeks, but for now either hold of on upgrading or live without my themes. Sorry about the trouble.

new front

There’s a new rcboyce.com front page today.  (Yeah, I published it with Coda.) I don’t think it’s quite as pretty as the old one, but it’s a lot more useful. There’s now an aggregate of feeds from my two blogs and my del.icio.us account. I plan to add more features to this (like an RSS feed) soon, so bear with me on this.
