Some Changes
I’ve made some changes today to the theme – quite big changes actually but I hope that this will help the flow of the site.
The previous theme lacked a lot of freedom and functionality and I’ hoping that this one solves my problems.
Most noticeably you’ll see some changes to comments with quoting now available and the fact that articles are posted one after another now.
Let me know what you think.

nice Alex!! Looks good! Might like headings a bit bigger, but overall i like it
I got a bit of a fright when I got here now and nothing looked familier!
I will give it a bit of time to get used to it and then give you my thoughts (if any) but 1 thing I do wonder is: would it not be better to keep just the excerpt on the front page instead of the whole story?
I’m torn between the current style and just the excerpt, I’m going to let the stats speak and see if people stay on the site for longer now as one of the problems has been that people visit, read one story and leave (just judging by the time)
my trouble is: where are the stories now Alex?
I don’t understand, you can’t find them?
Main page, one below another, or on the right under categories, or authors, or recent posts
You are right, excerpts look better. I like this theme overall – will work on the logo’s and creative etc….
I have a question: How do I change my avatar?
O_o
Hi Ed,
The new layout is great – I love it! Not that the old one was bad, but it makes more sense to me now…
Good job!
I like the new one – Can you get rid of the line under the O though in the heading? I guess it’s supposed to be the tagline. Maybe something like “Reminiscing about stuff”? Or “Apartheid – that was a kak idea, no?”
Anybody with better ideas?
@ Colleen – You need to click on the headings to see the full story.
@ Diva – Go to Site Admin (bottom right, under Meta heading), click on “Your profile” (Right hand menu, at the bottom), and you can change your avatar there.

Yip digging the new layout. Makes a lot more sense! Well done!
working on the floating line
I really like the new layout. It feels so much easier to read. Thanks Alex
Nope. It says: “Avatar uploads not allowed (Administrator may set on Users » Avatars page).”
Sies Alex – why do you deny a girl her av?!
Diva, I’ll look into that – some people seem to have managed -
try now
Hi Alex – I have the same problem as Diva with avatars. I get the same message on my profile.
I love the new headline as well – OUR version, so appropriate.
Same thing Alex
I found it Diva – try one last time – I promise
