Giraffe 1.20
It's been such a long time since I've posted anything here, and this is just going to be a technical post. Based upon feedback from different users, and the general direction of questions, I've released quite a major update of the Giraffe theme and plugin. The changes are:
- Major overhaul of the admin interface - redundant options have been removed, and the interface has been simplified. Where possible I have used diagrams to show what the configuration options will change
- Easy logos - a 'logo' directory now exists within the giraffe theme, and any image placed within here can be selected as the logo by using the admin interface. Additionally, two extra options exist to allow the logo to be randomly selected, and a custom function can be created to select a logo using whatever method you wish
- Auto-news - the admin interface will now periodically check this website for changes to the theme, and will display this from inside the admin interface. This should make it easier for people to know when the theme has been updated
- Curved corners and the left bar can be switched off
- Comments order - comments can be displayed oldest first, or newest first
- Gravatars - can be disabled
- Calendar - can be disabled
- Localization menu - now built into the theme
- Most W3C validation errors fixed
A side effect of these changes will be that a lot of the administration interface is no longer localized properly. Hopefully it shouldn't be too long before the new words can be translated.
More posts soon.

Any known problems with this theme in WP 2.5? I updated, and can't seem to get the plugins working. But maybe I did something else wrong...

Items in the footer are contained within the #footer CSS element. You can change the style like:
#footer
{
font-size: 0.8em;
color: red;
}

Thanks, I will spend alot of time there, that is for sure.
Does anyone know how to style the elements below the footer? I am speaking of the copyright info, RSS feed links and the Theme link. Please take a look at my practice site. I am at a loss here. But that is nothing new.
Thanks much.
