TheMiak.com Redesign Complete!

July 4th, 2007 in Wordpress

At last, after spending hours coding this theme, I finally finished it. Special thanks to Kael who drew and coloured the banner. Anyways, My friend is satisfied. I am satisfied because this is one of my best work so far, other than the theme used here of course The theme used there is based on this theme used here. And this will be the based for Cherry Berry 2. Now that I have finished this project, Cherry Berry 2 will be on the way.

TheMiak is a comic + blog site, and my friend requested me to do a redesign for that site since early this year. But I’ve been slacking off and lazy. And study of course. Finally finished it, and everyone’s happy now. But I still have to do one more thing on the site, that is to setup a comic gallery.

Among the features I have implement on TheMiak redesign are:

1. Gravatars. On both post and comment. Now how cool is that? The reason I used gravatar on post as well is because it is a group blog, and I think it would be good if all bloggers have their own avatar, thus using Gravatar, a Globally Recognized Avatar.
2. Official Comments. Without the plugin. Well, this mini hack uses codes discussed in the MalaysiaBloggers forum. So anyway, if the author of the site leaves a comment, there will be a star on his/her name. Just like how it is here on my blog.
3. Widgetized. Now I know how to widgetize my theme. I widgetize TheMiak theme is because I want to learn how to implement widget to a theme. This is for Cherry Berry 2 after all

I learned a lot when coding this theme. And I hope to create a better theme in the future.
