I have been playing around with a lot of different WordPress themes the last 12 or so hours, and finally found one that I think will stick. It is different than the old 3 column layout, but I think it is nice and crisp. The design is fairly simple and easy to modify. I think I will stick with this one for a while, and continue making it Calvert Games branded.
For those that are interested, I will post a change log at the end of the upgrade.
*****
Update 1 [afternoon]: I am continuing to play around with themes and colors; I think this one will work.
Update 2 [night] Change Log …
- Upgraded from WordPress 2.2 to 2.9.2
- Added new theme – Arjuna X – with color modification to give the site a Calvert Games flavor
- Introduced new “AddToAny: Share/Bookmark/Email Button” plugin for those of you that enjoy social networking. Earlier in the day I had a Google Buzz plugin, but for now it has been removed.
- Added Google XML Site Map plugin (to allow for better search engine indexing)
There is still some work in front of me. WordPress 2.9.2 includes Tags; I need to see how to best utilize them with all the previous historical content.
I also would like to re-introduce GoogleAds. I am going to research some additional widgets/plugins to make for a more dynamic site. The site still needs more Calvert Games branding, but I am happy with the initial results.
