So this morning I woke up at 7 AM and decided to do some reading and by 7:30 I felt like doing an upgrade to the newly released K2 0.9 theme. I had been using their subversion repository for quite some time and this is their first relatively major release in the last few months. There are a lot more features now, and it is easier to mess around with the code than before. At the same time, I finally created my own special style CSS file so that every time they have a new release, I just have to activate my style now and only do minimal editing to the source files.
K2 0.9 also features exciting new plugins including fully supported “Edit Comments” and “Quoter” plugins as well as fully implemented “Sidebar Modules”. Both the edit comments and quoter plugins will probably be the most helpful ones, while the sidebar modules help a lot on my end so everything in the sidebar can be controlled through a GUI rather than having to mess around with all the php code directly. I’m still working on finding a good WYSIWYG text editor for comments that looks nice.
There are still a few bugs that I had to fix on my own, but as of now, all the improvements are completely integrated (probably some other bugs floating around as K2 moves toward 1.0). As I learn a bit more about CSS I’ll probably be able to customize the blog a lot more.
Nothing more to say so here’s a video of Ok Go – Here It Goes Again on Treadmills
