Switching Themes
April 17th, 2007
Pegritz.com is currently Under Construction, as I’m switching my blog’s theme to something minimalistic, clean, and easy to read. I am currently adapting the Upstart Blogger Minim 0.1 theme, which is one of the cleanest, nicest, most accessible themes I’ve ever come across.
But it’s also one of the buggiest. To put it simply, the PHP code in this theme is allllllllllllllllllllllll screwed up. Mind you, I am no PHP wizard, and most of the WordPress coding that goes into building a theme is completely opaque to my right-hemisphered brain…but even I can tell that the code is really jacked up here. I don’t know if the theme author originally wrote this theme for an earlier version of WordPress or what, but…it’s going to take a while to fix all the innumerable errors (generally caused by improperly-written function calls in the WordPress “Loop”).
So bear with me here. We’ll be returning to our regularly-scheduled broadcasts of invective and lavish hero-worship soon!

Ive been trying to get it to work on my own test server wp 2.3 but found that the dam thing is not even pulling the layout in.
Have you any advice?

You're right. This is my first template and it's a bit of a hack. I actually used this template on my site Futurosity in an earlier incarnation. It was cobbled together from several mods of other templates. Before I released it, I did a cut and paste job with the default template in WP 2.1.3. So the code isn't clean, but it should work without any problems.
That said, if you've found some bugs and you fix them, please let me know so I can make it available for others. I'll give you credit on my blog and in the README.
Thanks, and I enjoyed your site.
