WP_MACRunners Theme
This is a screenshot of my first wordpress theme. It was actually the layout of the old macrunners website, which wasn’t on wordpress. We decided to update the website to wordpress in preparation for the Makiling Challenge 8. I’m glad that wordpress wasn’t that difficult to learn in using it as a CMS (compared to Drupal… even to Joomla), so it was easy to port the layout to wordpress as a theme. It features a random background image as banner, through CSS, instead of an image hardcoded into the html markup so that the site can be viewed easily when without page styling (where background images won’t show up, as opposed to images in html markup which would still show up without page styling).
Hopefully, I’d be able to do the same with the Joomla template I created for the Chem. Eng’g Dept. website, which has the same random background feature, only that the random image is linked to a random page (based on the UCBerkeley homepage although theirs don’t use randomization). As for publicly releasing the WP_MACRunners theme… I’m still trying to refine the codes, so I’m looking at releasing it by the end of June.
