From Wikipedia: A blog (a contraction of the term “Web log”) is a Web site, usually maintained by an individual, with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. “Blog” can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.

The only thing your site doesn’t have is the ‘reverse chronological order’ …

Really, trying to define a blog is just semantics. When does a site become a blog or a blog become a site? What about a site that has a separate blog, or a blog that has so many widgets that it becomes a site?

The term blog (or site for that matter) is just another over-used word that will become diluted until it loses meaning; e.g. so many swear words that can have opposite meanings depending on the context.

Wordwisp — kind of a cool theme. I’d want to see the ability to “turn” the pages, some kind of Nav to get to the next post.

Thanks. I looked into this, but as far as I can figure, that wouldn’t be possible in WordPress without some really advanced coding to automatically paginate overflow from the first content div into another content div on the right side. I could get rid of the sidebar and replace it with the second content div (i.e. the second page), but I think I would have to use something more than HTML, CSS, and PHP to get it to call the proper content from the database and display it correctly… AJAX probably. Maybe not though – I’m not skilled at all with PHP or AJAX at all however, so maybe someday, but for now the scrollbars will have to do.

I think the Wordwisp theme is very original, but it does need some added functionality.

Such as? Let me know, and I may be able to add it.

The theme size switcher is a very cool feature. How did you do it?

I knew I’d have to make a theme switcher for a theme that has a fixed height, so I used the Theme Switcher Reloaded plugin and then created several copies of my original theme. I renamed each theme (at the top of each theme’s style.css file) what I wanted it to display in the theme switcher menu – “1: Large” etc. Then I scaled/adjusted the background image for each theme, uploaded the image, and then adjusted the CSS stylesheet to fit the new background.

I laughed out loud when I saw your background image – hilarious! I agree, the transparency is a bit much. If it’s possible, make the background for the text just a little less transparent and it will be much easier to read. I struggled with this on one site, and found that it really helps to preview the site on multiple monitors before finalizing the transparency.

well, I wrote some content for the second site that might be a bit more fitting, so at least that will help. what would you change about the wordwisp theme to make it more appealing?
