Sorry for all the shenanigans going on with the site in the past few days. The laste template I used had links embedded to places I most definitely did not agree with. This new template was just released in the Wordpress directory by a great designer who you can visit here.
The color scheme should be more QQ-like in the next day or so as customization continues. I already feel like this template is loading faster and definitely generates fewer errors when I try to validate it.
Intense Debate is still giving me issues, but one huge bonus of this template is that if I can’t get them working again, the template was already programmed with threaded comments either way. :)
We almost had a disaster early yesterday morning when the site blew up for some reason but the folks at my hosting company, WebFaction, got everything restored and working again.
I will continue to make improvements over the weekend. For now, enjoy the videos and stop by the forums!
Thanks for all your patience!
Yeah, it’s certainly faster. I still think it kinda looks too WoM-esque though.
Yeah, there is still a lot of skinning left to do. The template actually used to be a purchased premium template but the author recently released it in the WP database. So now I am making it look more . . . me.
Definitely easier to read, but not as shiny. I’ll come back tomorrow! =)
Yes, loads quite a bit faster than what I remember. Good work so far!
Thanks. It’s still a work in progress but we’re getting closer. :)
there you go. the color changes are very welcome ones. wasn’t a huge fan of the change until now. nice
Excellent revamp of the site, Drotara. I’ve been a consistent reader for the past year or so and I always enjoy your posts (both WoW and non-WoW related). And congrats on Yogg! My guild is on them now and have spent 1 raid night on him so far. I am hopeful/optimistic that we will down him on Sunday.
Anyway, I’m not sure if you’ve been asked this before, but is there anyway you can publish your UI? Some addons I simply cannot configure for the life of me (such as AGUF). Also, I love your countdown timer for AS, SS, etc. and wanted to ninja that from you if possible.
Thanks and keep up the great work!
Thanks for the continued reading! I’ll look into exactly what needs to be done to package up a UI and see about doing that.
Thanks Dro! I think you can just zip your WTF/[Account Name ]/Drotara and AddOns folders. Anyone who runs WoW at a different resolution will need to tweak their settings but that is essentially it. Thanks again!
