New Theme – Tranquility White 1.0
Time To Changeâ„¢ 
As you can see.. New Theme!
And as you all may know, the reason behind why the slow loading time previously was because of the coding in the previous theme was pretty messed up. Hopefully this one will be alright. Oh ya! No Ads! Yet.
I installed WAMP5 and WordPress into my laptop to do editting, etc. Faster that way.
Tranquility White 1.0 originally designed by Roy Tanck and it looks like this:
(Click to test run the theme)
It’s quite hard to find the proper theme for my blog because i had only one requirement:
- The content width must be at least 450 pixels wide (else my pictures will run out of place.
However it was EXTREMELY plain.. So i put by programming skills to good use – sort of. More of copy-paste and code hacking.
If you do a comparision on the original and this one, there are aloooooot of diffference between them.. Most notabily is the sidebar and the footer (end of the page).
I need a few new plugins as well:
- Customizable Post Listings v1.1
- Customizable Comment Listings v0.9
- Nice Categories v1.0
- Submit It Plugin v1.0
- WP-Plugin List v1.0
- XSD Snapr
I had to edit a few plugins to my specifications.. (Submit It Plugin v1.0) Click here to view all the plugins installed.
I had a little problem with one plugin though.. Most probably it’s due to the way that this blog is designed in the first place.. If you look carefully, my subscribe to comments checkbox is at the bottom of the page when you view a post which isn’t as long as the sidebar. I used this code to place my checkbox:
<?php show_subscription_checkbox(); ?>
I’m still trying to figure out what’s wrong.. If anyone knows a solution, do give me a shout out.
As a temporary solution i forced the checkbox to be on top of the "Submit Comment" button. At least you will stumble upon the checkbox before posting a comment. 
Alot of copy paste/stealing needed mainly because im not a very good artist. Also need some inspiration for more features.. So i’ll give credit to all below:
- Alexified
- KennySia.com
- AdSense WordPress Theme – Ads Minded
- A List Apart
- It Could Be This One (Rounded v2)
- W3Schools.com
- and a few more which i cant remember anymore
As a little treat, I would want you to hover over the above links to see what the XSD Snapr plugin can do. I just hope it works

November 20th, 2006 at 11:59 pmWell done, Aaron. Nicely done with good combination of colors!
As mentioned by earl-ku, you might wanna place the Comment Submit button some where near to the textbox. Guess it’s related to the placement of your sidebar.
Cheers.
November 21st, 2006 at 12:22 amearlku: u mean "Just after noon" ? that i coded myself.. if else statements
Bryan: Thanks alot!
Bryan & Earl-ku: I tried that, but the higher i move my checkbox for subscription, the more things will go to the end of the page.
maybe like what bryan said, sidebar position conflicts with it.. .
besides that try goin here: http://aaronho.bloglogo.com/?s=hello .. you’ll see some out of position footer. dont know how to fix that yet..
