Nice theme. Alot of content and widgets to choose from :)

By: Cat

Cat — Sat, 03 Nov 2007 15:50:10 +0000

Yeah, that’s the plan. Now I just need to come up with 5 distinctive ideas… Got any suggestions?

- Xbox 360 / green
- My cats / brown

Sha — Sat, 03 Nov 2007 15:42:25 +0000

Wow. I think maybe you should do the xbox 360? Have it change through out the day maybe to different pictures?

By: Cat

Cat — Sat, 03 Nov 2007 11:46:52 +0000

It just gives me so many options, you know? I can have 5 compleetely different headers with different colours. So for example for the morning I can have an Xbox 360 look including green colour, then later something with the cats and mybe brown, etc.

Too many choices!!

Looking very good :) Look forward to reading more.

Nice one. :)

It needs a bit more work, plus I want new images, but that will be done at some point. Glad you guys like it!

It’s pretty much perfect now as far as me is concerned. Great :D

Woot! Looking good now! :) Btw, it’s showing me early morning [pinkish red] so I think that its synced with your blog timing. :)

By: Cat

Cat — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 23:14:12 +0000

@ Sha: Thanks. I’m liking it a lot as well. It needs a bit more work including the sidebar needs to be re arranged a little and I’m thinking of new headers, so it loses a bit of the Sex and the City styly which has no relevance to my blog. :)

@ sulz: I guess and I just read through that thread. I think I will do that once I have fully modified it.

Added the preview image to the post.

Oh wow I loveeeeeeeeeeee this theme. It’s absolutely amazing! Now I really want to see it during the day :P

Comment box is now wider. :)

Anything else?

I left a comment on fixing the admin bar on my post at my site cat!

Hi Sulz,

I wish I’d have come up with it! I’m afraid it was all wank’s work. :)

By: sulz

sulz — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 14:46:13 +0000

very cosmopolitan! somehow reminds me of sex and the city, though i don’t think it’s sexy. :P (it’s sophisticated!) you should post in that ‘show off you css designs’ thread in the off-topic section of the forums.

By: Cat

Cat — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 13:36:24 +0000

Added to the list of things to change. :)

Cheers.

Oooh uh this theme is super sexy! I mean like wicked cool! Gotta love all the starz!

Btw, you’ll need to do something about the blog’s title in the header. The “Cat’s Blog” is half hidden under the WordPress top NavBar. Otherwise it’s great!

By: Cat

Cat — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 13:10:40 +0000

Well, I’ll look into that when I’m more productive a la early early hours of the mornign. Until then I’m collecting any feedback.

As for the Twitter thing, one day you’ll probably use it! :P

By: Ashish

Ashish — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 13:05:40 +0000

Cat: Well, I’ll just have to see it in nighty night then! :D

As for my little tip there, won’t work for you I’m afraid. Your Comment Form isn’t that well defined. Call on teh CSS Wizards! :D

And everyone’s using it cause it’s good. :P
I meant that for Digg 3 and I hate it with all of my Twitteriness ever! :P

By: Cat

Cat — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 13:00:19 +0000

I’ve found that with sunrise I think the colour isn’t so prominent.

And everyone’s using it cause it’s good. :P

By: Ashish

Ashish — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 12:50:26 +0000

Cat: Just because everyone in the blue blazes is using it.

As for me, the links in the posts look fine. As for changing the comment box look for this line in your CSS stylesheet -

#comments_form.text_area {width: some numbers}

It may be called something else but thats what it mostly will be. Change those numbers to make it a bit wider. :)

By: Cat

Cat — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 12:28:51 +0000

You don’t like Digg 3? How comes?

Yeah, the comment box is one thing, thing is I know pretty much nothign about CSS, so I’ll have to look into that.

So far I need to fix:

- Child/hidden pages are displayed on the top nav bar.
- Links in posts don’t appear prominent enough.
- Comment boxes, especially on the contact page.

*it should read, I chose to stay with copyblogger. lol.

Oh and can you make this comment box wider or perhaps to the center? The rest is teh koolness. What says Chief or Reporting? :P

By: Ashish

Ashish — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 12:06:08 +0000

Looking kewl Cat! I was actually considering using this with sandbox on my blog earlier but I chose Copyblogger. Like this because its kewl and because another blog Digg 3 free! Yay! :P

Oh and I’m getting good at being the first commentator everytime! Go me!
