This is totally not snowboard-related…
If you haven’t noticed some changes around here lately you may be blind because the site’s whole layout & theme have been changed. Let me know what you think of the new layout hopefully it has a more professional (less “bloggy”) feel to it and is more reader-friendly. This shouldn’t impact the content at all, I’m still going to write the same snowboard-obsessed weekend warrior type articles on a regular basis.

The new theme is a slightly modified version of “Detox” by Milo317. I understand that you can’t make everything completely modular. Especially not for free. Fortunately I can usually troubleshoot my way through CSS, PHP and HTML files so I don’t need to hire someone to make small tweaks like removing certain elements, etc.
Along the way I discovered a minor error in the code for ad.php. I updated the favicon.ico within the theme folder and then I made a number of adjustments within the PHP files; the ones I remembered to document are outlined below.
Within the file single.php I made the following adjustments:
- removed: related posts component in favor of keeping YARPP. I have since removed YARPP.
- removed: “social buttons” component
- removed: div postmeta because it only contained the above elements and they have been removed.
- removed the call to ad.php which was a placeholder for banner ads
Within sbar.php I made the follwoing adjustments:
- commented out the placeholder spaces for 150×150 banner ads in the the sidebar
Within the file ad.php, l_sidebar.php and middle.php I made the following adjustments:
- commented out the alt text for sponsor links
