Good theme, but could be improved further
-
Divina is a theme easy to set up and with a very attractive look.
Still, I’d like to suggest some improvements, after a first glance at it and a short series of tests (didn’t dig too deeply in code):
- Separate favicon setting. It feels weird to have a 512×512 px favicon, I tried with mine and it gives an 18kB (!) while my current favicon (16×16 px) is only 1kB. Let the mobile app icon be a separate picture altogether and the favicon another one.
- Remove the “Other <type> posts” link on post thumbnail hover. If someone wishes to see other image/ video/ … posts, let them do so from within the single post, but don’t distract him while he selects from the index page a post that interests him.
- The portfolio and the blog should be two different features in my opinion. As a graphic designer I need a portfolio to display my creations, but I also want to share thoughts with and write articles for my visitors – that’s why I need a separate blog feature.
- A Changelog should be provided and maintained. On the repository I could see that version 1.0 was uploaded in 2015, but I also noticed that for each revision, all files have been uploaded altogether; not even one file shows changes (as it should, if the developer took advantage from the svn features).
The above are some features I would like to have in a theme like Divina, but even without them I’d say it’s a nice and friendly theme and I’d like to thank the author for his work.
