It’s December 23rd. It’s foggy, and it’s rainy. It should be a winter wonderland, shouldn’t it? Snow and trees and snow, right?<\/p>\n
Well, it can<\/i> be. On my blog, anyway.<\/p>\n
Brian Gardner<\/a>, who designed the Vertigo Blue<\/a> theme I’ve been using for a while now, released last year a Christmas theme for WordPress called “Wonderland<\/a>.” I’d downloaded it, not because I had any intention of using it, but because it looked neat and I like looking at code.<\/p>\n What can I say? I have strange hobbies…<\/p>\n With Christmas approaching I thought about putting up a Christmassy theme, to spread a little holiday cheer. And when I saw Matt Mullenweg<\/a> write this morning about how he wanted falling snowflakes on his website I felt like the stars were all in alignment.<\/p>\n “Wonderland” needed a little<\/i> bit of work. First, to incorporate the snowflakes javascript. Second, to enable sidebar widgets. Third, to get some of my pages — like Tags and Archives — to work properly. Not major fixes, and all told about a half-hour’s worth of work.<\/p>\n As something to spread a little holiday cheer — and to just look neat — I like “Wonderland.”<\/p>\n And after the New Year, back to Vertigo Blue. :cheers:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s December 23rd.
