As I mentioned yesterday, I wanted to learn how to create my own WordPress theme. So the first update I did was to add a navigation bar to the default theme. This came courtesy of liewcf.com. I saw this article a while back and was playing about with it but have since formatted my PC so had to search for it again. It makes it easier to navigate through my pages, although I only have two at this time I'm going to have a good look through the code and modify the width of the tabs and font size so I see how it works.

My next aim is to add a contact form to my site and hopefully I can add an extra tab on my nav bar for this. Another thing I've been thinking about is RSS feeds for bloggers and ensuring that your daily post is release ready before posting it. For my first two posts I was publishing and then proof reading and making edits on spelling grammar etc. and re-posting. Although I have no subscribers as yet, I was just thinking that if I did I may have released a pretty messy blog post. So it's just something to think about going forward. I wonder what kind of plugins are available to help with this kind of thing.

Anyway, that's it for now. Off to watch the World Snooker Final 2009, it's currently John Higgins 3 - 3 Shaun Murphy. I had a few smalls bets on the frame betting and I'm up about $15 dollars for the day. So that's two days in a row that I've made money online and I've posted to my blog everyday since I started so I'm going well!
