In which I discover I remember some PHP after all
June 19th, 2010 at 6:00 pm ETBeen hacking around on this blog for 3 or 4 hours now, and I’ve discovered a few things:
- I remember more PHP than I thought. When I dug into the theme files to make a few UI changes, just by examining the context, grepping in the theme directory, and combining some simple trial and error with light Googling, I was able to figure it all out. I cleaned up half a dozen small things that had been bugging me for ages, and uncovered a few more to deal with later.
- WordPress functions seem well thought-out and well-documented.
- Boy, do I need some CSS training. Trial and error works, but it’s not the most efficient way to figure out what the hell is going on.
I also had some fun at ColourLovers.com, browsing other people’s palettes and experimenting on my own.
