I am looking into the best way to make a WordPress site \u2018responsive\u2019, so that it looks good on any size screens. There are many WordPress themes that have that capability, but many don\u2019t allow for customization of the \u2018look and feel\u2019 of the site. I need to add widgets in various places, and even sub-widgets (for lack of a better term), plus change just about any component of the page with CSS style changes.<\/p>\n<p>There are a few possibilities. What I would really like is a \u2018drag-and-drop\u2019 theme designer. I\u2019ve been playing with one called \u201cThemeFrame\u201d (from the folks at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bytesforall.com\" class=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">www.bytesforall.com<\/a> who make the Atahualpa theme I have used for the last couple of years), but not sure if it will do fully responsive themes. And although it has been in beta for over a year (and I paid for the \u2018early release\u2019 because it showed promise&#8217;), I am not sure that it has all of the capabilities I need. Plus it has some rough spots that require some manual CSS tweaks.<\/p>\n<p>The next project will be a highly customized WP theme, with \u2018responsive\u2019 capabilities. I\u2019ve started the basic design, but it\u2019s not quite there yet. Needs more work to make sure that I can get all of the elements in the theme that I need.<\/p>\n<p>So there is that to keep me busy, plus the usual weekend projects: lawn, patio cleaning, and the various \u201choney-do\u201d items.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In my never-ending quest to write silly web sites, I just finished another one. <\/p>\n<p>This one will help you survive the coming Zombie Apocalypse with the rules that are needed to survive.<\/p>\n<p>The site is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.RulesForZombies.com\" class=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">www.RulesForZombies.com<\/a> .
