Adding a Custom CSS to WordPress
February 16, 2007
I was having a look through Chris Pearson’s Blog today and found a pretty interesting article that he recently wrote about proofing CSS Styles for the future. I’ve been working with and playing around with WordPress for about the past 8 months and in that time I’ve learned a great deal about this CMS (Content Management System).
I am personally using the Glued Ideas Subtle Theme on PureWebAnalytics and while I have not done that much to change it as of yet I’ve got some plans for future changes to the CSS.
The hardest areas of WordPress and in my opinion and what separates the men from boys and the women from girls are themes and more importantly custom theme development. With every new release of WordPress the base theme framework changes, sometimes for the better and sometimes not. Things are added and taken away and if you are supporting clients running an application like WordPress then you can see how this costs money and time to go back and fix.
Chris Pearson, a forward thinking kind of guy that he is has developed a great work-around for this which basically allows you to create a Custom CSS file that regardless of how you install or when you install it; it keeps your theme as fresh as the day you first built it.
I really enjoyed reading Chris’ article and his site has a terrific wealth of knowledge related to web design and development. It’s definitely worth checking out!
