I’ve decided. I’m done thinking about it. I’m done meeting new frameworks and blind dates with hand coded one off train wrecks and two birds are a stone.
I made this decision weeks ago. Way back before Addy was even born (I’m an obsessed new dad) I made this decision on phixda’s first birthday. Jk said “jquery is packaged with .net” I wish I could live in a world void if .net, but it is what it is.
The nail that broke the camel’s water was a instant message
you know, jquery made making a wordpress theme a breeze.
i had to do some really crazy selectors (which will be great when/if css3 comes around) because the layout was supposed to be full width for the most current post, and the rest of the posts running down two columns at half width.
i didn’t really want to go digging into php to figure out how to change the structure of the website, so i used jquery to achieve the layout with very little effort.
oh, if you make a wordpress theme, start with the sandbox theme and alter it. it’s unstyled and dumps just about everything wordpress offers onto the page.
