POSTS TAGGED: themes

1000 Posts!

We just passed a big milestone here at Fishing Fury – 1000 posts, and nearly 600 of those came in 2008! We’ve grown to be one of the most popular fishing blogs and certainly the most updated. When Jon and I started the site, we didn’t have the time to update it as much as we would have liked, and really we still don’t, but we do the best we can to bring you something new to look at and read on a regular basis. The site has undergone many changes and revisions over the years, and thanks to Jon’s design skills we’ve been able to introduce fresh, user friendly designs each year. In case you haven’t been around since the beginning, here are a few of our old designs!

Fishing Fury Jul 2004Fishing fury began in July 2004 with this simple black splash page. Originally the page featured an excited little girl holding onto a largemouth bass with the look of fury in her eye. I can’t track down the original photo, but the text says it all.

All of the old sites were very dark, but in 2008 we gave white a chance, and we haven’t looked back. The latest edition of the site maintains the white theme and as you can no doubt see, adds several new features including links to recent posts and featured articles. With you continued support, the site will grow even more – thanks for all the fish!

How many of you actually remember the old sites?

Theme Updates

I have just activated the new WhiteFury 2.0 theme for our site. The general style was taken from the previous theme but I’ve changed the sidebar and the blueprint css grid framework handles the columns. Creating this theme was surprisingly quick, even if I did have a lot of the work already done for me in the previous theme. I’m really impressed with the grid framework, and I may come up with a theme update for our gallery.

While I’ve tested this in most of the browsers I have available to me there could still be a few bugs in the theme. There is one that I’m already aware of and I’m still looking for a solution. Basically our content column width has decreased so I had to keep images from overflowing on to the sidebar, I did this with max-width in CSS and a quick expression to deal with IE users. Trouble is that now some of the images are disproportional, I’m sure I’ll figure out some way to get beat everything back in to place. If you have any ideas feel free to let me know.

Other than that we have a few cool features that you’ll start seeing as we break in our new theme.

Bugs and praise in the comments please!
