New Mango Blog Theme for CFTips.net Plus Disqus Comments
Filed under Mango Blog
I have given CFTips.net a little facelift. First off I took another Styleshout.com theme and made another Mango Blog Skin out of it. It is still a work in progress but I like it so far. If people are interested I will release the theme to the masses. I was messing around with some social plugins and ended up adding the FaceBook Like Button (I will also make this a plugin if people are interested) and also the Easy Retweet plugin by Mark Aplet.
Since messing around with mango was so fun I decided to add a new commenting system. I wanted to add threaded comments, also known as nested comments, to my new blog theme. Mango Blog has a parent_id column in the database just waiting for someone to make a nice little plugin but I couldn't commit the time. Instead I just installed the commenting system Disqus. I really like the simplicity of Disqus and I can't wait to play around with it a little more. I have a script that transfers existing Mango Blog comments to Disqus if anyone is interested in installing Disqus. I may even just make a blog post about it in the future if there is interest.
I think that is all for tonight. Please give me some comments on the new additions, my eye for design is not the best :(. Also, feel free to hit me up with any questions about migrating to Disqus or if you have interest in this new theme ;)
