soupornuts theme change - trying to work out the bugs

October 4, 2007 · Posted in Software

O.K. Why is it that when you finally find a theme that you really like, you’ve got to spend a bunch of time working the bugs out?

BoB’s themes

This theme came from Bob at Blog oh Blog, who has designed some killer themes. Go see for yourself. I’ve modified the css on this one to get the color scheme that I want. I really like the clean, simple lines and feel.

Bugs take some time

I’ve come across a couple of problems so far:

when you click on one of the recent posts, the layout kind of goes haywire. The comment section starts to overlap into the left sidebar
when I install anything in the loop of my index.php file or my single post file, things start to get a little funky - depending on exactly where I put it, different things happen - I’ve tried to vary the position, but nothing is helping so far
In IE, everything looks great on the home page - but when you click on a recent post, the sidebars drop down about a full page distance
I just found another bug - when you click on comments from the home page, things start to intrude into the left sidebar

Bob’s on the job

I’ve emailed Bob and he has gotten back with me that he is checking on the situation. I have full faith that we get the theme running right. I read all of the comments and replies between Bob and other down-loaders, and it is apparent that Bob takes great pride in his themes. I have full faith in him and his skills.
