After spending two days reverse engineering / crash coursing through all the WordPress code, I am finally grasping how everything fits together, with a couple of minor tweaks and hacks in the WordPress engine itself and changing a couple of things in the widgets module and writing a new WordPress Theme from scratch, I am now halfway into building my own kick ass WordPress Theme that melts in with the rest of mycee.net. The whole idea of having separate modules for the header, footer, sidebar and content didn’t make sense at first, but after spending some time absorbing the way the WordPress authors goes to work made me realise that the simplicity of their design is absolutely ingenious, especially the backwards compatibility with older themes as well as widgets (except for a few minor things I didn’t like which I recoded anyway).
Hopefully my new theme will be done by the end of the day, could no longer stand the default Kubrick theme, it’s nauseating.
