Theme Update

July 25th, 2009

I noticed that the AdSense revenue for the site had fallen off drastically after moving to WordPress, and after consulting the AdSense Heat Map I suspect it’s because the ads are in the worst possible positions in the iNove theme.

I played around in Photoshop for a little while, creating something similar to the existing iNove theme because I liked it, and eventually set about creating the php files. Having absolutely no idea how these things work, I simply butchered the default WordPress theme and changes things until [a] it worked and [b] I was happy with the results.  I’m sure Themes in general could be much easier to work with, but what the hey – it wasn’t too bad.

There was some severe tweaking to do in order to have it work correctly and fit on a 1024-wide screen, and eventually reverted to tables just for peace of mind, but I am fairly happy with the results.
