Yesterday saw Gadget Nerd‘s first post in a long while. A kind of introduction if you will to the re-boot of the site.

Today I’ll explain a bit more about what’s going on with the site.

I created the WordPress Theme specifically for Gadget Nerd so that I could better control how things looked when they actually appear online, but having said that, there was a lot of learning about WordPress going on too.

I enjoy designing themes so it’s a natural progression from designing websites in HTML and CSS to converting those to WordPress themes.

As the theme is new, and my experience of developing themes is limited, there might be a few bugs in the system. I haven’t actually looked at how the site appears in any version of Internet Explorer yet! So, that will be the next big job and I’m bracing myself for it. It appears to work well in FireFox, Safari, Chrome and Opera, so I’m happy with that.

If you do see anything that’s not right, please let me know! I do read all emails and comments that are left on here.

The articles that appear on here will also be posted to Twitter and the URL shortener that Gadget Nerd will use is Stwnsh. Stwnsh is a Welsh language URL shortener that I created a while back because there was nothing like it available through the medium of Welsh. I’m glad to say that it’s working well and gets used a lot!

The next step is to add “share this!” links to the individual posts. Facebook, Twitter, Delicious and email are the main ones I should add I suppose. I’ve already added a Readability link to each post so that you can use their service.

So, if you can think of anything else, don’t hesitate to get in touch.
