I prefer Intense Debate and I’m working to figure out what is happening with it. Basically there is a glitch with ID where it causes the media menu under the post and the slider under the post to not work correctly. It has something to do with the java script not the CSS. I’m trying to figure out why the glitch happens now, but it didn’t when I had my previous theme and the social media plugin.

I’ve found that other bits of Java seem to break the site so I need to hunt down the culprit in the new theme and fix that. I really like the slider so I don’t want to ditch it, but I might need to try and recreate it differently … possibly using CSS, it can be done but it is tricky.

Thanks, yeah I’ve looked at WooThemes before but never noticed the free ones. Moding an existing theme is easier and since I’m still learning how WordPress works I like seeing how themes are setup. I am still working on my own theme. I have the basic structure but I want access to some of the more advanced features of WP, so I’m having to study a lot more themes and the WP codex. There is a lot more to it than the appearance.

The plugin on the left is Cute Profiles. Peter had it on his blog and I’ve moded it a bit more so it feel like quick silver when the icons increase in size.

I love WooThemes, they’re the best in the business hands down. And your tip about FireBug is great too, it totally changed my life. I’m just a theme hacker, wish I had the brains to do it from scratch, but with these two resources, you don’t really need to do that anymore. No point reinventing the wheel.

What’s the little social networking plugin you’re using on the side?

Looks great!
