Updating The Sand Trap with a WordPress Theme
Posted January 1st, 2010 @ 07:50pm by Erik J. Barzeski
I'm updating the blog's design at The Sand Trap today and I've narrowed my choice for the "bones" of the site to two themes: Publication and Marketplace.
I think I like Publication more, but the pros and cons put them both pretty close to each other.
Publication Pros
- Like the postdata
- Like the tabs on the top
- Like the built-in styles
Publication Cons
- Doesn't support widgets (???)
- Would reduce the font size (easy)
- Would need to convert to a white main background (pretty easy)
Marketplace Pros
- Supports Widgets
- Already a white background with a two-tone header/background
-
Marketplace Cons
- Don't need/want the big images per post (?)
- Don't need/want the bottom stuff
- Font face and size is blech, postdata might not wrap well.
I'm still leaning towards Publication because it seems easy to add widget support. Thoughts?

I went with Publication, and the site is mostly done. I'll do some final tweaking later today.
