Tweaking marathon
I had just finished renovating our home at Blogger and not long after that we got our confirmation on our new address at the new Efx2. So, last night I went over to the new place to start another godek godek (tweaking) exercise.
I had used WordPress before and before I even start, I had already imagine the limitations that I am going to bump into. Unlike Blogger that have lots of flexibilities, WordPress is somewhat rigid and only allow some standard customizations unless you host it on your own domain.
I really thought that the WordPress MU where the new Efx2 is built on would be similar to the normal WordPress but I was wrong. I am not sure about other things that are not there but one of the obvious one is the less number of templates to choose from. Geram aku!
Through out the night and early morning, I tried on all the templates and I could not find any that I really like. I found a few that allow me to customize the header but then I would have problem when I tried to copy our Blogger postings there. After going through the lot I have to settled for one that you can see at BBDP. This is the most flexible template where I can easily copy our Blogger entries to.
On the other hand, Diah, loves to put multi color fonts in her posts and, guess what? The so called “rich text editor” at the new Efx2 does not even support colored fonts. You can change the color of your fonts manually but as soon as you save it, the CSS would overwrite them.
“Sebel banget!“, said Diah.
Anyway, for the sake of the community spirit, we would be both at Efx2 and here and wish that the brilliant community leaders together with Keith would come up with all the widgets, gadgets, and whatever stuffs that would make the place unique and fun again. Just like the good old time…
I really missed the recent visitors feature in the old Efx2. That is one cool piece of thing that most people took for granted.
Can we have that back?
