New Theme – Gossip Box

  • A two column theme to resemble MSN Messenger.

    I created this theme to use on a blog for posting funny or interesting interent messenger and chat logs. I the posts to look similar to a messenger box. The comment section also looks like a smaller faded out version of the messenger box.

    See it in action at https://thechanged.name

    It looks really good, but you need to validate it and correct the html errors. I believe you changed the doctype to html 4.0 (why?) yet the page seems to be written as xhtml 1.0 transitional. Since WP is designed to function as xhtml I’d start by changing the doctype in header.php (or wherever the head of your html document is located) to the xhtml 1.0 transitional doctype tag, then run it through the validator and correct any errors from there.

    The css came up clean. That’s a good thing.

    Ok, I’ve changed it to xhtml 1.0 transitional (I don’t know why I had it as html 4.0 either… old habits die hard?)…

    and I ran it through the validator, and corrected almost everything. However, I’m still getting one error and for the life of me I can’t find it in the html. But I will!

    Again, thanks for your tips.

    There’s an extra <li>

    <li><li><a href="https://thechanged.name/wp-register.php">Register</a>

    The default for <?php wp_register(); ?> is for it to generate its own <li></li> tag pair, so you need to take out the ‘<li> you put before it and the </li> after it.

    Great theme. I’m looking for an excuse to use it.

    WOW! I had no idea that <?php wp_register(); ?> generates its own <li></li> I can’t think of any other good ways to use this theme, but I hope you find one! Thank you so much for your help!

    Installing a chatboard plugin like WordSpew seems appropriate, especially if you style it to fit the theme.

    That does seem very appropriate! I’ve installed it, what a great idea! Thanks.
