To-do wish list

More as a reminder to my own self rather than something to share with whomever visits this blogs . There a some things I wish to change to my website, these are (in no particular order):

• Shorten the height of the header. Don’t know why a lot of themes (and website) use such a large header. I agree you need some space to show off your logo and flashy site/brand name but it doesn’t mean you have to spoil valuable pixels. E.g looking at a site on the smallest Macbook or any netbook with a browser which has the adress toolbar and tab-browsing enabled, only has so many pixels available for showing content…
• Add second sidebar and maybe even make the width dynamic instead of fixed.
• Replace the ‘Previous’  and ‘Next’  page indicators with real page number (already experimented with 2 plugins but they require some tweaks to fit my theme.
• LifeStream plugin works nicely with auto-grouping of events but somehow it does not display the  events in a group in chronological order. Weird but true. Have to look into that and try to fix it. Maybe even going to try to have the event timestamp displayed when showing details.
• Add search. The build in WP search widget looks ugly in my theme.
• Add About page and/or show ‘About-info’  on homepage. I tried the WP build in free-text widget but didn’t like the outcome.
• And looking at a preview of this list; ad color to the bullets or something else to juice up a list.
• …

Of course a site also needs some interesting content but this is of lesser importance to me. I am just playing around with WordPress and trying to build a site with some nice features.
