I have installed the Thesis theme for WordPress on all the color blogs. I’ve gone in and changed the .custom css for each one and they are all sporting their namesake colors.
I was able to use blue for blue text on the blue blog. However, I could not make even the darkest yellow text work on the yellow blog so I decided to use black text there.
I’ve got the blogs to a place where they are all colored but not all the tags that could be changed have been changed. I will slowly change them over the next few months.
Right now I would like to see a post in each blog so I will be taking off the developer hat and putting on the writting hat. When my editor hat agrees that the writting is ready, I’ll have a post each for the blogs!
1000 Syndicated Feeds
As I was setting up the blogs, I made some changes inside of WordPress. First I changed the amount of syndicated feeds shown from 10 to 1000. I then changed the type to “Summary.” I had over 20 posts when I first enabled my feedburner feed and it grabbed only 10. If I would have known where to change this I would have. Here is the path: > Settings > Reading
Hues
I also went in and made the links between blogs just the color word like Red. It was TopRedBlog.com and I felt that just having it as “Red” was a lot cleaner and pleasing to the eye. Instead of “Blogroll” I named the category “Hues.” I changed it in this blog to “My Blogs” and I titled the blogs, “Red Blog.”
Permalink Stucture to Numeric
I also went into the Permalink page and changed the permalink structure to “Numeric.” I have not read any pros or cons on this but I think it might be better having a /123 url rather than the /?p=123 ending. If you have an opinion on this, please let me know.
