Tag: sidebars

I tweaked my pages and still am not satisfied because the current global navigation, top bar doesn’t have a drop-down menu feature for children pages. Only the parent pages are shown:

1. Welcome
2. Content
3. Web book
4. Posts
5. FAQ
6. About me
7. Contact me
8. Orgone
9. Archives
10. Links

I’ve just discovered that instead of using the `Default template`, there are two more templates that one could create instead of using the widgets for the side bar:

• Archives
  • Months in descending order (with the number of posts in parenthesis).
  • Categories in alphabetical order.
• Links
  • Blogroll links in alphabetical order.

As a result, the side bar looks cleaner with mostly images and only eight widgets:

• Gravatar – about moi
• Text – Signed books by DB
• Flickr – Orgone and Orgonite
• Tag cloud – with the `spook` topic as the most
• SocialVibe – for the whales
• Blog stats – includes my test
• Askimet – spam comments blocked
• Useful links – | Poll | Translate | Top | Feed | Comment | Donate | Disclaimer | Copyright |

Unfortunately, the images on the sidebar might slow down loading for those readers with slower internet connection.
