All about my WP-Dimension calling card theme for WordPress
cogdog on I have more than a fondness for what was my first (non child theme) custom WordPress theme, WP Dimension, converted from a HTML5up template, ideal for a person’s main domain site, what I like to call a “calling card.” The front page offers a series of “boxes” you can set up with content overlays for […]
cogdog on I have a negligible update for a favorite of my WordPress Calling Card themes. WP-Dimension was the first of several I first made a WordPress theme out of an HTML5-up template. It appeared in this dimension in February 2017. This theme is also special as I use it dog-fooding style (which I have been told […]
cogdog on I’ve been tinkering with some under the hood updates to one of my favorite WordPress Calling Card themes, in fact it was the first one ever, WP-Dimension. I’ve not done much to these themes in a long while (like maybe pre-pre-pre-pre pandemic) but was motivated by a rare but welcome issue submitted to the GitHub […]
cogdog on I’ve known of some problems with one of my WordPress themes for a while but pushed it aside. WP-Dimension is one of my favorite “Calling Card” WordPress themes. maybe if it was the first one I welded from the HTML5Up original template. A lot of folks use it (including mine at the Best Domain I […]
cogdog on Those big time motivational speakers who talk about starting to learn with a problem you want to solve have never really accounted for serendipitous learning. Is everything as simple as problem -> solution? This is one of those times I accidentally learned something I had no intent of learning. It was like 3 by products […]
cogdog on The first HTML5Up template I turned into a WordPress Theme was WP-Dimension. The great irony was that I made use of the original static HTML theme on my own domain at cog.dog, but never went back to chow my own theme food. The thing that happened I was looking for a kind of welcome mat […]
cogdog on What else to do on a chilly, blustery, snowy day, sitting on the couch, in front a warm fireplace, side by side blogging with my Cori… then to fiddle with my WordPress themes? Yeah, as she says a compliment, I am weird. This week I was helping my friend Mariana do some revamps, web site […]
cogdog on I fully expected people not to be satisfied with the simple calling card templates we introduced to the Ontario Extend participants last week. I would not be. The idea was again to put a temporary placeholder at the entrance to one’s domain. Something to come back to. But you cannot suppress keeners like @NurseKillam so […]
cogdog on Back in February I wrote of converting an HTML5up static template to a WordPress theme I call WP-Dimension. This was also a first run at putting theme settings inside the WordPress Customizer. I run the static site for my own purposes at http://cog.dog (I still love my domain), but the WordPress version comes in handy […]
cogdog on I’m fairly sure this blog post and the README write up a new WordPress Theme are going to take as long as it took to do the coding. That’s okay, it’s important. The path I took was similar when I was looking for a simple landing for the main site of the WordPress Multisite for […]
