Change of template
Posted on Wednesday, May 17, 2006 at 3:16 PM
Welcome.
I have decided to port Rebecca Hemstad's Serendipity Bex01 template for use in Thingamablog (TAMB).
I first downloaded the Bex01 template and deleted all the content, putting in code from the original TAMB template and using the Bex01 css file. It worked fine after a couple of minor hiccups.
Then, to make the template much easier to read and amend, I copied many of the standard routines into custom tags, calling them by name in each template, and they seem to be working fine. The reason for this is that, should I wish to change any coding on a global basis I only have to change 1 custom tag, re-publish, and all templates will be updated automatically.
So far it's looking great.
