After another long coding session I have decided that I’m no longer going to make my own framework for Wordpress. Why? Because there is no point in re-inventing the wheel. Currently I am using the Thematic Framework, which I was basing my work off of. I figured why make a new one when I already have a feature packed one to begin with. Instead I plan on incorporating what I’ve learned into Thematic.
I’ve learned quite a bit about Wordpress and PHP in general in the past few months. I’ll admit it probably took me longer than some. Only for the simple fact that I am a visual learner. When it comes to XHTML and CSS, I can make a change and instantly see the results. I can see those results even if I make an error. PHP on the other hand… doesn’t often work that easily. It’s the artist in me. I am an artist first and a coder second. Linear vs The Whole. I digress…
I know I mentioned (for the few who actually read this) that I was close to finishing my new site. This has taken a back seat since I have gotten several freelance requests. So now it will take longer than anticipated.
