The plan is to theme BananaMunki into a unique and reader friendly, attractive, weblog which also validates and is SEO optimised. I have worked on the visual these past two weeks. Parenting a one year old I have been working with a limited time schedule. I haven’t worked with web design for over two years and this mean I have some studying on CSS3 and HTML5 to do. I haven’t created a theme for WordPress before and PHP is quite a new field to me.

So this is a little challenge but the main thing is the limited amount of free time I have right now. Even though I’m not a single mom his dad both work and study which give me little time for other things than parenting. This project will take some time to finish. With my child starting daycare within one month I should have a bit more time in not too long.

I have looked at many themes for WordPress and it is difficult to find one with all the aspects I look for. I don’t want to have to compromise one thing for another. Finding a theme with nice colors that at the same time is widgetized as well as having for example a navigation that I like and a line spacing that I can appreciate, it isn’t the simplest thing to find. No, it’s not simple to satisfy me .

This image below is the mock-up I developed in Photoshop. It’s not pixel perfect, there are some adjustments to be made but overall it’s finished. Yes, it’s only a front page. I have yet to develop the page.php and the single.php with the comment section and more.

I hope that I can do this!

Banana Munki, Graphic

I mostly eat healthy through-out the days. I may indulge myself in Cappuccinos , and home made snacks in the evening but I keep the main meals healthy. Well… as you can see.. not every time.

This is my blog post about a plate of kebab with fries. It was quite delicious and deserves a spot here

Ran bank arrends and some other things and while the son was asleep in the stroller I and my lunching partner made the best of the situation .

Had trouble with the right-click function in IE8. Could not right click anything. It was very annoying. I did research and found a solution that fixed the problem. Posting the fix at Banana Munki just in case it could help someone else who experience the same annoying trouble.

1. Go to RegEdit
   path C:/Windows/regedit.exe
2. Go to the following location
   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions
3. Find the key named NoBrowserContextMenu
   double click and change the value to 0

I use Songbird – it is my favorite in music players with all it’s features/add-ons (radio steamers as one example). I like it’s look and it simply “feels right”. I even dedicated a post to it so it’s unfortunate that I find Songbird be a bit too unacceptably slow.

I decided to do a search on Open Source Music Player and after giving quite a few other music players a chance to enthrall me I am giving the best candidate  i could find one week to get me hooked.

The lucky winner is Media Monkey. Music manager and Media Jukebox for large collections developed by Ventis Media Inc for organizing and playing audio on Microsoft Windows operating systems.  Available in a free version as well as a paid one, called Gold licence. Skinnable, with extension scripts and plug-ins.

I wouldn’t mind Amarok, not at all. I use Windows and isn’t going to switch (back) to Linux over music players so I’ll keep my eyes open for a Windows version.

I’m not ruling out the possibility that there is a way to make (my beloved xD ) Songbird speed up. Songbird is perfection <3. Ha!
