The new design of olivetalks is out!

Finally! It has taken 45 hours of hard work (yes, we counted them), and here is the result. I’m quite happy with it :-) . As ZoltarStark mentioned in olivetalks redesign, we have used Cordobo Green Park as the starting point for our new design. But check out how does Cordobo Green Park look (image 1) and what we’ve ended up with (image 2)… quite different, aren’t they?

Yes, I’ve gone inside the beast and turned it upside down. It’s been quite entertaining changing parameters, font-sizes, colors, images, layouts… This morning I got up at 8 am to try to upload the new theme before any viewers visited us. It took me two and a half hours because some glitches appeared. The biggest one was that the Excerpt Editor plugin we are using started causing some errors like

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of ... bytes exhausted (tried to allocate ... bytes) in .../wp-includes/post.php on line 127

but it was readily solved by disabling the Auto-Generate options of the plugin, which as far as we can see, are not really needed.

We have tested our new design in Firefox, IE6 and Opera and 3 different laptops. Now it’s your turn to let us know what do you think of the new layout and any problems that might arise in your browsers or computers. Oh, and any questions regarding modifying the Cordobo Green Park theme, are welcome! I have become quite an expert at tweaking it…

    Thank you all for your patience and comments. Knowing you liked the new design makes all the effort we put into it worth it!

    PS. Yes, it’s a real olive and 3 out of the 4 tiny olives on the sides are real too ;-)
