I Started to work on my new YSIV Blog theme. After a few unsuccessful attempt to work with a the audacious The Ideal Theme from Information Architects I decided to give Hybrid a go. I picked Hybrid because I liked the way it is built and because it is not as complicated as Thematic, but I think it allows enough freedom to do everything I will need.
I like when thing follow my ways, even if I’ve not made them so first things first, I modified a few thing in the original themes files.
One thing I didn’t liked about the original framework was the long class it appends to the body and post container. When some of the class might come handy, I think I won’t need os, navigator, etc…
Here is the full list of what I’ve deleted:
Body tag classes not printed:
- Text direction
- is logged in
- preview page
- sticky class
- simplified category class
- tags
- All the os and browser detection
Single Post classes not printed:
- Post counter
- odd/even when not on single post
- tags as classes
Comments:
- Microid mailto class
Other feed links than rss2 have also been removed from the header.
You will say that I am missing the point here by modifying the default file but I am positive I will never use those classes so thought it would make sense, since it is supposed to save me time, to delete them instead of going through them every time I built a theme. I intend to do this for the whole framework and then start using Child themes to do the actual theme for the blog.
