Another week, another update.
Over the last two weeks I had several interesting conversations. They all made me release one thing: I have to get better with Photoshop and Flash. To do this I`ve ordered 2 books; one for Photoshop and one for Fireworks. (Huh not Flash? Nope).
This week I`ve completed one project and I started with another one. I won`t tell you much yet but it has to do with porting a Joomla 1.0 site to WordPress without a change in the theme or functions of the site. I will be doing this project together with my brother.
The website is expected to be finished within 2 weeks.
About my minor project. I`m running onto several “”strange” issues with the MS detector which created several new problems which I have to solve before showing off some results. I have a proper separation by GC, I`ve discovered pollution in the solvent but I`ve been struggling with the detection limit and linear range. Hopefully I`ve solved this major problem and continue with the rest of the project as soon as possible.
This week there weren’t changes on the site except some plugin updates. The planning is to update several pages this week and also clean-up the old posts.
www.bevrijdingsfestivalzeeland.nl is online.
This website is for the liberation festival in the province of Zeeland, the Netherlands.
The biggest change since last week is the brand new Web 2.0 layout by Lenn3rtS. It took some effort to merge his Photoshop layout and the previous theme and K2 into one solid theme.
The site runs on WordPress and the K2 theme.
Feedback is always welcome!

Halfway next week a new layout will be online.
Somewhere in april Packt Publishing will release the WordPress 2.8 Themes Cookbook.
I will be reviewing this book on my website.
The book is writing for WordPress developers and webmasters who want to learn how to create custom themes for their site/blog. It`s recommended to have experience with WordPress and HTML/CSS before you start with the book.
What you will learn from this book
- Enhance your page templates, optimize the use of images, and add effects to them
- List your pages, categories, and tags on a blog and create navigation
- Stylize your posts to make them look interesting
- Display, format, and tweak the comment system to attract the visitors
- Add sophistication to your dynamic web site using popular JavaScript libraries
- Package and distribute your theme using the WordPress.org theme repository
- Display auxiliary information about the post being displayed using dynamic sidebars
- Empower your end users to change the contents displayed in the theme’s sidebar without involving a programmer
- Change the style of your theme depending upon image content and time
Over the last couple of months I`ve been planning to change the content of my website/blog. I’m finished with the plans and I`ve been working according to this plan for 2 weeks now.
The plans include:
- No more software release news, except for major versions (like WordPress 3.0, but non 2.9.2)
- Cleaning up the archive by removing “double” items like beta and release candidate announcements
- Add a webshop
- More personal and project based content
- Import my Blogger “video blog”; music.ramoonus.nl
- Increase the speed of my site, by disabling several plugins
- Modifications to the theme including graphical headers, to make things less static.
I will post more plans in the near future or when bigchanges are made.
