Burbling.net

The site looks really great!! May I ask how you did the “old site” thumbs/layout/functionality? Is it a plugin or a hard-coded page?

Thanks for sharing! Great design!

Thank you! ??

I made a category called Layout History, and then for each layout, I created a new post in that category with the name of the site and version as the title, and a description of the site as the post content. I then created a screencap and thumbnail with the same name as the post slug (i.e. for the title Burbling.net v2, the post slug was burblingnet-v2, so I had burblingnet-v2_tn.jpg and burblingnet-v2.jpg) and put those in a separate folder. I then made a new template for the category (by installing the Post Templates by Category plugin) and called up all the individual posts in that category like this:

<?php $posts = query_posts($query_string . ‘&orderby=date&order=desc&posts_per_page=-1’); ?>

<p class=’center’>

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<x href='<?php the_permalink(); ?>’><img id=’post-<?php the_ID(); ?>’ class=’border’ src='<?php echo bloginfo(‘url’); ?>/images/site/layout-history/<?php echo $post->post_name; ?>_tn.jpg’ width=’150′ height=’82’ alt='<?php the_title(); ?>’ title='<?php the_time(‘F jS, Y’) ?> – <?php the_title(); ?>’ /></x>

<?php endwhile; else: ?>

(Where x = a; it didn’t like the a href, for some reason!)

Hope that helps! ??

Looks great! ??

Thanks for sharing that technique. And again, great job on the site! ??

Well i have often wanted to keep a lot of what i do together and your site has actually inspired me to do it and hopefully i will manage to keep everything on my domain together without getting it too messy.
Your site looks amazing and so very clean and simple

Thank you, everyone. ??

Nice design. A quick note on the nav bar though, the text is extremely small on my browser. Runnning at 1600×1200 resolution, if that matters. Perhaps a contrasting color and slightly larger font will be easier to read.

Thanks for the comments, Cypher! Much appreciated. I will definitely consider changing the navigation bar when I get the chance to look at it and experiment with sizes/colours. ??

Thanks!
