So I’ve finally upgraded to WordPress 2.6.5. Nothing new that I’ve really noticed yet.<\/p>\n

I’ve also taken this opportunity to change my theme. The one I’ve decided to go for now is simpleX<\/strong><\/a>. I’ve also considered Clean Home<\/a> and Pixeled<\/a>, but both had their quirks which I couldn’t think of a easy way to over come.<\/p>\n

Given that, I still had to make some changes to simpleX where it did not play nice with the Most Viewed<\/em> and Recent Comments<\/em> widgets. I had to add the following to my CSS stylesheet for it to actually render okay:<\/p>\n

#recent-comments li {
\n    background: url(images\/meta.gif) no-repeat 5px 7px !important;
\n    padding: 5px 5px !important;
\n    padding-left: 20px !important;
\n}
\n.recentcomments a {
\n    background: none !important;
\n}
\n.recentcomments a:hover {
\n    color: #333 !important;
\n    text-decoration: none !important;
\n    background: #E8C8C8 !important;
\n    border-bottom: 1px solid #c47373 !important;
\n}
\n#most-viewed li {
\n    background: url(images\/meta.gif) no-repeat 5px 7px !important;
\n    padding: 5px 5px !important;
\n    padding-left: 20px !important;
\n}
\n#most-viewed a {
\n    background: none !important;
\n    display:inline !important;
\n    padding: 0 !important;
\n}
\n#most-viewed a:hover {
\n    color: #333 !important;
\n    text-decoration: none !important;
\n    background: #E8C8C8 !important;
\n    border-bottom: 1px solid #c47373 !important;
\n}<\/code><\/p>\n

Given this chance, I also went through my blogroll and friends list and purged any link that was no longer working or haven’t updated in some time.<\/p>\n

I’m still not 100% sure I’m going to stick with this theme yet. I dig the simplistic view. Maybe all it needs a new header image. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Update<\/strong><\/ins>: I’ve also ended up disabling new user registrations and purging users I did not recognize. If you used to have an account and can no longer sign in, do let me know. I had several hundreds of user registrations and most of them were fake. They probably expected to be able to spam better if they had registered an account.<\/p>\n

Update #2<\/strong><\/ins>: Added more padding to the Most Viewed<\/em> and Recent Comments<\/em>, along with the little gears icon.<\/p>\n

Update #3<\/strong><\/ins>: Borrowed some icons from famfamfam.com<\/a>. Didn’t really think gear cogs represented posts and comments that well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
