Tabbed For Your Pleasure

I wanted to mess around with a tabbed layout for another site that I might work on some day, but didn’t want to create a new page to tinker with, so I just added tabs to the current layout on my test site. When I was done I decided that I kind of liked it, so here is Imperial Cloud City – Green w/Tabs. Along the way I also fixed a pretty dumb IE error on the Archive page.

I’d like to say that I did this all myself without any help at all from the Internet, but that would be a lie. In fact, the way that I had it working was WAY more complicated than it needed to be. This thread in the WP support forum was most helpful along with this page in the codex.

Also, I wrote a tiny plugin that displays some stats about the site, which can be found in the About tab. Right now it lists the count for posts, comments, categories, and unique commenters. The top 10 most commented posts and top 10 most active commenters can also be found. I know there already are plugins written that do this sort of thing, but I wanted to do one myself. I’m bored.

Thanks to Edgemoor for beta testing a screen shot of the new layout/plugin a week or so ago. Maybe he’ll start blogging again.

As always, let me know if you find anything wrong or if you hate everything about it. Also, if you have any ideas about additional stats to add to the About page, I would be interested in hearing about those too.

    I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again: I like it. AND I like the fact that I’m the #1 commenter on your site (except for you). That obviously means I have the most love for you. Do you feel it? It should feel squishy if you do.

    Wait a minute…doesn’t he deserve a “check” for that?
