SUBSCRIBEKubrick
I’ve just made the change to Kubrick. From the rather bland design and simple title, random thoughts
my blog is now known as ROUGH GROOVE.
For a few weeks now, I’ve been planning of adopting the Kubrick template by Michael Heilemann for WordPress 1.2 Mingus which allows an easier way for customizing the blog header like placing an image by way of Photoshop editing and much much more. And so, a few nights ago, I started to work on this by installing a trial blog at my old domain salagubang. While using the template and then changing the image was very easy, the blog title would not just come off. Reading Podz’s Wordpress Guides gave me an idea of what to edit in the wp-layout.css file:
From
h1, h1 a, h1 a:hover, h1 a:visited, .description {
text-decoration: none;
color: white;
}
to
h1, h1 a, h1 a:hover, h1 a:visited, .description {
display: block;
text-indent:-500em;
text-decoration: none;
color: white;
}
This was enough to move the blog title out of the image and still retain the hyperlink. However as the clickable area of the header title was small, I changed this one (same file):
From
h1 {
font-size: 4em;
text-align: center;
}
to
h1 {
font-size: 10em;
text-align: center;
}
Now, the clickable area is wider. But I would prefer to have the whole header image clickable.
By the way, the photo above was taken early morning when the mists haven’t yet totally lifted during my Holy Week sojourn in Siocon, Zamboanga del Norte this year to collect beetles and do some photography work.
I’ll be making changes and will be reading the Kubrick support group in the next few days to further enhance the site.
