Well, actually I’m just telling you the obvious: der-eremit.de has got a new theme. The header still needs some re-work, and their might be a few rendering issues, but all at all this is the new look.

In my previous post, I already mentioned that I there has been a little clean up. Additionally I’ve added a some new things to page:

• using WP-PageNavi for paging now
• Using qTranslate for multi-language support (theme isn’t ready for multi-language)
• removed widget-support (classic sidebars are quite more simple to style)
• and much more

Better late than never, but I’ve done some ‘house’ cleaning yesterday and today. There have been a whole bunch of plugins that I wanted to get rid off; amongst other plugins that have been NextGen Gallery, WP-PostRatings, WP-Downloads and the Contact Form. Furthermore I shrinked the page amount (Downloads, Sitemap, Gallery, Tools are gone), cleaned up the options as well as the database itself. Finally I also finished the prototype of the new blog theme, which will be online in a few days.

• Removed ‘LifeStream’
• Added comment subscriptions

General:

Short and crisp:

• Fixed RSS Entries and RSS Comments links

• Moved Archives & Categories to Top Menu
• Cleaned sidebar
• Added GeoTrack & Plugins page as Sub-Page of Misc
• Temporarily removed links section

• Switched completey to english
  Background: as there have been more and more requests from non-german speakers, some side effects of the xLanguage plugin, the fact that most plugins couldn’t deal with xLanguage and that I have been sick of writing in two languages led to a full switch to english finally.
