New look, same content

New look, same content

Just updated my blog with a new green theme, Corpgreen from Blog Oh Blog. I think I’ve tweaked appropriately, such as changing the RSS feed URL in the welcome.php file, but do let me know if you see anything amiss.

I’m thrilled with WordPress themes because of the really simple, straightforward way of separating format from content. I learned alot about CSS and the theme by using the Web Developer plugin for Firefox to visualize the div boxes.

Let’s just say, themes are complex, but can be broken down into their parts pretty easily once you have the visual tools you need.

At the beginning of this year, I worked hard to summarize my thoughts on API documentation, continuous publishing, and technical accuracy for developer documentation. The result is an article on InfoQ.com, edited by Deepak Nadig, who also was forward-thinking in having me speak to a few teams at Intuit about API documentation coupled with code. Always […]
