Some of you may remember that I posted something similar to this late last year (and then shortly deleted the post). Basically what happened was that I got myself a new theme for the website (a little bit prettier, and a little more powerful than the one I’m currently using). I installed it, hit preview, and immediately chickened out.
Nothing looked right, nothing worked right, and it was a long way from being the site I saw in my head when I started out.
But it’s a new year, and what better time can there be for overhauling things than now? So I’m going to give it another try. I’ve backed up my articles, backed up the site and backed up the database, so if it all goes to shit, I can roll it back to where it was when I wrote this.
In the meantime, expect things to break. I’m not a WebDev or code monkey, and I don’t know how to do all this locally, so it’s all going to happen on the live site. Which means stuff will look weird, things will be broken, and objects will move around like there’s a poltergeist doing my web design for me.
Hopefully, it’ll all end well. Otherwise, expect to see the site exactly as you left it last year.
Cheers!
Laurence
