BPlan Construction – Update #4

It's been a while... Today I put a lot more work into producing a better looking theme for the Business Plan Competition site.

Not much has changed on the backend with the Drupal modules I am using. I assume that there are some updates I need to make to some modules... I need to run this off my own server so I can use CVS, but for now, I'll keep it this way. Since my server is right here in my room, I tend to turn it off some days, so I'm fine with keeping it hosted on Hostmonster until my contract expires.

I must be in the theming mood since I have been making changes here an there to this blog's theme on Wordpress. Really, I think this theme is the wackiest piece of crap excuse for XHTML and CSS that I've ever seen. However, I have not seen many Wordpress themes. I believe that the designer used YUI to generate much of the XHTML and CSS. So, it's not really meant for real programmers to look at. However, I manage to fix things here and there. Anyways, if I really want a real theme, I guess I would have to make it myself as I am doing in Drupal.

There, I am using the Zen theme, as I usually do, as my base and creating a sub-theme for the BPlan site. Drupal themes seem much prettier under the hood. Or at least these do. I have heard of some horror stories.

Nevertheless, this whole process is turning out quite well. We'll see how it ends up.

Yeah, this is a short post, but I am really tired.
