New Design

November 12th, 2007  | Category: Memoir/Meme/Misc.

It has been a long time since my last post, but I had an excuse this time. My blog’s new design. I wanted to develop a unique design rather than using one of free Wordpress themes, and in order to do that I had to learn a bit of CSS. It is much more fun than it sounds.

So what’s new? A couple of things…

First of all, there is a whole page dedicated to explaining ways to subscribe to Cafe Fernando. It may make your life much easier!

Secondly, I finally got around to compiling all the conversion tables into a single page. These tables will help answer questions like “How many grams is a cup of flour?”. It will be very useful for people who are struggling with US measurements.

Sharing your favorite posts is much easier now. You can click on the “E-mail to a friend” button at the end of each post,  which will automatically open up an email client with the permalink of the post pasted in the body. Then, all you have to do is enter the recipient’s e-mail address and press send. You can also share the posts with friends at Stumble Upon, del.ici.ous or Facebook by clicking on their respective logos.

I hope you like the new design and  find it more user friendly. Any comments or suggestions, drop me a line.

    But now there’s no other excuse for not posting your new fantastic recipes and photos ok?

    I love the layout! Very user-friendly, thanks :-) I just started blogging and using the pre-made wordpress themes isn’t that great, but I don’t really have a choice. Did you have to update your account so you could develop the css format?

    Sil BsAs, semiramis - I know. It is about time I post something new. Hopefully in a couple of days.

    Nicisme - Thank you! Actually I had a hard time trying to find a header image to top this one. I know that an image related to food would make more sense but I can’t let go of this beautiful painting.

    Amanda - Thanks. I am not sure what you mean by updating my account. Are you referring to the Wordpress upgrade? If so, yes I upgraded to WP 2.3. It is a necessity to make use of the most recent plugins, but not at all necessary to develop your own theme.
