DIO real skills 
Why this forum is the way it is, and what is deliberate rather then accidental.
(The things I might be reluctant to change, and why)
White(ish) text on dark background:
If you read forums for any extended period of time with black text on a white back ground its like staring into a light bulb and trying to read, not pleasant.
if you like to read in the dark its less harsh on your eyes and less likely to cause a temporary loss of night vision. I don’t want you tripping as you run from the room crying “Eureka” after looking at the screen.
Green and orange text. now using orange as part of sunspot theme
I actually want green and yellow and I hope I can get the yellow,
high contrast and not affected by most common forms of colour-blindness.
If people prefer the orange i will keep it. I’m starting to like it.
Narrow format:
I want this to be useable from a wide variety of monitor formats.
I use my 10″ net-book screen to test small screen useability.
I have tested smart phone compatibility works well, though almost all left side panel is missing.
Tools on the left
Search,categories, latest posts, and tag+category clouds.
I found a theme to support it.
The Calendar
I was hoping it would link to events like on my other forum which is a php module based rather than this one which is CCS module based.
No luck so far, all it seems to do is let you know what was posted on a certain date.
I am using a milestone module (next events) like a calendar reminder thing so we can keep up with all the awesome events that are on.
I may add several of these to create a next 5 events string in place of a real calendar. Sadly they have to be manually updated.
Does anyone know a CCS coder? Making a few custom CCS modules might be just what we need.
I have never used WordPress before today, and this is my first attempt at configuration of a WordPress blog. So this is whats possible in 8 hours, I’m sure we can get this to look how we want eventually.
