new wordpress site to be reviewed

  • https://greerville.com/wordpress

    This site is sort of a website/blog hybrid. It is designed to give patrons of a missionary family regular news and photo updates. I am new to CSS and PHP, but not HTML. Really I enjoy the design elements of building a website more than the code elements.

    The site is based on Kubrick, the default theme for WordPress.

    I have implemented several plugins: Falbum, Flickr slideshow, and Subscribe2 — all of which are very cool, but do not validate well. There is also a Flickr badge in the header which does not validate.

  • Really cute site, and serves the purpose perfectly. Good luck in your mission work!

    very nice layout! I think the colour is very relaxing.

    I also like the “Sign up for email” on there. I might have to look into soemthing like that for me site as well.

    A great inspiration. Photos add a nice touch!

    the mailing list is powered by a terrific wordpress plugin called Subscribe2…it fully integrates into WordPress’s admin panel… Get it here: https://www.skippy.net/blog/2005/02/17/subscribe2/

    Wow! Incredible Template! So smooth, like Apple designed it or something! Please share with the rest of us!

    As for code, when I run your site through w3c, there is a LOT that doesn’t validate. I suggest at least striving for xhtml transitional. But you can tweak this over time…

    Overall, amazing use of WordPress to create a custom website. Kudos.

    When you say “based on Kubrick”, you really mean “barely based on Kubrick” right? Terrific artwork. Looks great. I really like the Flickr badge in the header…it’s so subtle, I didn’t even notice it was a Flickr badge at first. Best implementation of it that I’ve seen.

    Very nice and clean I think it looks great. Good luck with the site.

    Thanks for all the kind reviews!

    i’m especially amazed at how you create a link to you FAlbum slideshow in your posts?

    It’s actually not a link to FAlbum…although I’ve had others think the same thing. It’s linked directly to Flickr.

    The slideshow is powered by another slick plugin that you can get here: https://www.darasplace.com/53/flickr-tag-slide-show/

    It took me a bit of tweaking to get it to work, and it’s not quite as seamless as FAlbum, but it gets the job done.

    One question for everyone:
    Is the sidebar too “busy”?

    thanks, thelt, i’ll try it.

    I am impressed… great job. Was Falbum hard to install?

    no, it’s very easy…FAlbum is a great plugin

    stchatterbox, what’s your website?

    I also like the navbar at the top like that… very practical, and it looks good
