Atlantic Sentinel 2.0

| 0 comments

3.0, actually, if you count in the original design, but the latest version of the Atlantic Sentinel is very Web 2.0 with social media integration and a lean and light layout.

The result of roughly a week of coding, the current theme is totally my own, so totally devoid of superfluous coding and functions the site doesn’t need. What’s more, this should survive further WordPress upgrades unlike the previous theme which was so heavily customized that it couldn’t bear an upgrade.

Hopefully, WordPress will soon release the ability for readers to comment with their Facebook and Twitter identities. I’m waiting for, not wanting to install an outdated and code heavy plugin, so right now, it’s just the default comment form.
