The Gippy Pages

Just another dumping ground on the internet. Topics range from the interesting in WordPress, PHP and Photography to the mundane in what I had for lunch or what piece of electronic equipment has decided to torture me that day.

Not suitable for all ages.

Using Carrington

I decided to start with Carrington Jam because it was precisely what I needed: a no fuss, bare bones, starting point that allowed me to wrap the content output functions how I needed them. The conversion from plain HTML templates to Carrington Jam took less than 6 hours to finish.

The main features in Carrington that made development easy were the theme based plugins folder that made theme specific plugins easy to manage and organize, context specific loops for tags, search and archives, and the ability to set page themes based on parent releationships. There’s so much more that I could be doing but to get this level of control helped to do an entire site conversion with very little hassle.
