Ed's Big Plans

Brief: I’ve switched to “The Journalist” by Lucian E. Marin to combat the nagging page weight of more decorative WordPress themes. This should make loading my page far quicker. Ideally, I’d like to have it load as quickly as SnOwy, my wiki notebook. When I get some spare time, I’ll add my logo to the title region of this page– don’t worry (he says to himself), I’ll optimize the file size for that as well.

Update: I’ve made the modifications I always do — Inline comments now appear on both the main and archive-like pages, and search results are trimmed as excerpts.

Inline comments

Added the following div after the the div class=”main” and before the div class=”meta group” — changes made to index.php and archive.php.

<div class="recent-comment">
<?php $comment_array = get_approved_comments($wp_query->post->ID); ?>
<?php if ($comment_array) {  ?>
    <?php foreach($comment_array as $comment){ ?>
        <div style="background-color: #f6f6f6; border-top: 1px #bbb solid;">
        <strong><?php comment_author_link(); ?> says...</strong>
        </div><div style="padding: 10px 0px 10px 0px;">
        <?php comment_text(); ?>
        </div>
    <?php } ?>
<?php } ?>
</div>

Excerpts in search results

Changed a call to “the_content()” to a call to “the_excerpt()” — changes made to search.php.
