Designing Around WordPress
If you haven’t noticed, I’m doing something really stupid: I’m learning about WordPress Templates by way of making changes to my live site. It’s interesting how they built the Kubrick template. It’s probably very brilliant in its way of dealing with qualities of CSS. However, as an example to learn from, it has a lot of idiosyncrasies.
So far, I feel like this isn’t a bad night’s work in adapting an existing style from a ground-up site to a WordPress template. I hope the site remains to be usable during this transition period.

Hey,
Going to have to edit a WordPress set up on server I have no access to in regards to the set up files… wish me luck.

I usually end up editing my templates live, too. I think there is a plugin for doing maintenance on your templates, but I have never got around to looking into it.
I don’t know if Kubrick is brilliant or not, all I know is that it is a maddening way to learn how to build your first template. I learned that the hard way.

Yeah, some kind of caching plugin would probably work fine.
It’s good to hear that I’m not the only one that struggled to learn WordPress templating by looking at Kubrick.
