Meta Tag Styling on WordPress

February 13th , 2012 → 8:17 pm @

XO Theme for WordPress Styling After each post, we display Tag, Category and RSS references. They are not part of the actual post; they are of a rather technical nature and may help visitors to find contextual content on the site. The SEO impact of publishing such Meta Information is discussable. Styling the Author Name We want to display the author’s name underneath the main title in small but remarkable fonts: .post .meta, .hentry .meta,.post .meta a, .hentry .meta a { color:#111111;letter-spacing:5px; } Note: we just use letter-spacing to gain visibility.   Bottom Tags Usually these meta tags are printed in small print, often difficult to read. For the purpose of this exercise we have switched to a serif font (Times) and increased letter spacing for better readability: .storycontent .postmetadata, .storycontent .tags { font-family: Times, “Times New Roman”,serif; font-variant:small-caps; font-size:16px; line-height:1.1em;color:#101010; letter-spacing:2.5px; } .storycontent .postmetadata a, .storycontent .tags a{ color:#000000; } Nothing really exciting here: we are using small-caps (alternatively upper-cases) and letter-spacing of 2.5px.Note that letter-spacing can take decimal values. The fun is in experimenting with font, colors and styles!   Related posts: WordPress Date Styling Custom Typography on Semiomantics XO Theme for WordPress

Semiomantics XO Transparent WordPress Drafts

February 8th , 2012 → 1:19 pm @

Transparent WordPress Custom Theme Playing with the XO Theme Version 3.3.x from Semiomantics and CSS3, I notice how easy it is for most anyone to customize the XO Theme by adding transparencies and other CSS3 elements. Here below you find some drafts. You may visit the test site from : http://globalthebrand.com. Transparent WordPress Gallery Scripts and Plug-ins On the test site we use the Semiomantics Widgets and Theme Handler plug-in as well as a modified Supersized plug-in; the latter needs some more work to make it more responsive. Also we use TubePress which behaves fine also on mobile. The Theme is Semiomantics XO with 3 custom child-themes; any theme can be associated with any page, post, category, tag or sidebar.       Incoming search terms:xo theme wordpresstheme blogtheme wordpress typographyxo wordpress themewordpress semiomanticswindows 8 theme for wordpresswordpress transpert themewordpress transparent responsive themewordpress theme windows 8transparent wordpress theme cssRelated posts: Transparent WordPress Semiomantics XO Transparent WordPress Theme Design Semiomantics XO Blog The 1001 Faces of Semiomantics XO Semiomantics XO 2011 for WordPress

How to make WordPress Themes Responsive

Responsive Themes for WordPress Responsive Websites become a must in 2012. This tutorial demonstrates how to make your WordPress Theme Responsive. What is Responsive Web Design? In very simple terms: Responsive Web Design aims to display content adapted to the visitors screen size. This means namely that the layout width must be fluid, i.e. expressed as a percentage of the width of the screen, typefaces expressed in em and images must be scalable. Practically speaking: a responsive designs can be viewed on a smart-phone or on a large PC screen, the display will always be the same and adapted to the size of the screen or browser window. n stead of using multiple style-sheets for different screen sizes, designers use Media Queries which allow to create multiple layouts using the same content.
