I have received a lot of nice com­ments regard­ing the site theme update and over­haul – Thanks!

Some have also asked a few ques­tions so I will answer them in this post:

1. What tem­plate are you using?

I am using the excel­lent “Innu­endo” theme from Theme Forest.

2. How you got those cool recent com­ment style speech bubbles. Is that a plugin?

Partly, mostly just CSS.  The image is here (upload this to your server somewhere):

and the CSS is here (add this to your style.css):

p.first{
back­ground: url(**URL TO IMAGE ON YOUR SERVER**) no-repeat;
dis­play: block;
margin-top: 2px;
pad­ding: 20px 10px 18px 10px;
}

Then in the Get Recent Com­ments plu­gin add this as the tem­plate line:

<p class=“first”><a href=”%comment_link” title=”%post_title, %post_date”>%comment_author</a>: %comment_excerpt</p>

Then add the wid­get to the side­bar or hard­code the line to show recent comments.

Job done!

3. And also those social book­marks are awe­some is that another plugin?

Yes, this is the Soci­able plugin.

4. By the way I finally found a mod­i­fied ver­sion of the Jflow script that allows the fea­tured posts to auto rotate on a timer. Is here :

If you have other ques­tions, please let me know.

Again, thanks for all the great feedback!
