The new theme looks like the old theme!

[Belisle]

Wait it is the old theme. Almost done with the new one though. I'm shooting for Thur/Fri at the latest.

[Mr. Hawkins]

Yeah this is not right. I'm excited for the new one though. Looks killer from the screenshot Cory posted.

we want a new theme now!

You can kinda see it at Golgotron.com/wptest

[Mr. Hawkins]

I'm sure this is stuff you're already working on, but I wanted to point out a few things:

1) Comments on the first article are gone.
2) There's no way to log into the site now. I found the old link but my account is no longer there.
3) The old template put up the main image from the article at 600x250, even though the article supported 600x300. Now it's stretching the article images to fit instead of cropping or masking them and it looks funky.
4) The featured articles section at the top doesn't know how to handle articles without a header image. That's not really an issue, but we need to figure out a way to add three versions of the header image so the article, featured section, and front page all have proper looking images.

Thanks fellas. Site's looking cool.

Somebody give this guy (and other authors) access to the forum where we have a discussion for this.

1)Did it have comments at some point? They might not have gotten migrated to the new server if they were posted after we pulled the wordpress DB.

2) /wp-admin/

3)The current dimensions are 560 x 185, subject to change. IMO people should be cropping their images before uploading them. Auto-cropping leads to it not always displaying the right part of the ridiculous image that was uploaded. Cory is supposed to be going through and resizing the older articles' images.

4)The featured articles section uses a different custom field called "FeaturedImage", it doesn't even use the article header. I can make the article page show a larger non-cropped image if thats what we really want.

[Cory Jacobs]

Yeah I'm knee deep in resizing the images and re-tagging the posts. The site still has the old logo up there, and none of the staff photos are working... which is interesting.

[Belisle]

  Staff photos seem to work for me....

Ha, "this guy".. nice.

1) Yeah it had three comments. One from a dude named Ray C (I think), one from Molly, and one from myself. Not a huge deal. Just an observation.
2) I know the link address, but commenters can't log into their accts without a link. My account is no longer there. I'd like to be able to retag my articles and post another batch when it's restored. Thanks other Eric.

You're not the only one. Cory set me up with my name as Eric Hawkinson on my Golgotron email account.
