Update March 23, 2010: ignore all below! I’m constantly trying out new themes and plugins here. I finally upgraded to the latest WordPress (and will continue to upgrade, so I’m not going to bother typing which version). I’m currently on a minimalist blog kick, with a clean, easy-to-read interface being the most desired thing.

*********************************************************************

See below for more info. I’m currently playing with a theme called “H5” — it’s done all in HTML 5 which is the next big thing I guess. It’s a very basic framework theme — I’m going to play with it and see if I can learn this HTML 5 stuff and maybe make a theme based on it.

This is a test site I’ve set up to test WordPress themes and plugins. I’ve installed a theme switcher plugin so you can change the available themes from the site’s sidebar (note, some themes have their “sidebars” actually at the bottom of the page or hidden in menus — just look for the lists of themes under “Themes.”) I’ve disabled the theme plugin and will be using the Classic theme to test settings, navigation, and layout. Currently I have changed the home page to a static page, and put the blog posts on a separate page.

Okay! update: setting up the main site is done, and from now on this site will be used to test plugins, themes, etc., before putting them up there.

Testing the Biography template.

Drop cap test.

Update, November 14th: I’m testing a more basic theme, Violinesth Forever. It seems clean (in Ubuntu anyway — I’ve got to check it out in Windows) and has most of what I need. The navbar in the header does not show more than the parent page tabs though — Maybe that could be changed.
