Netpad.gr – My New Blog Built with WordPress

…and a brand new challenge has begun for me with netpad.gr.

I chose Highwind theme for my new blog and from the moment i installed it i started tweaking it, after creating a Child Theme.

First, i removed the gravatar from the header

Perhaps i will re-add it later on but for the time being i just want it as simple as possible. I simply added this filter to the functions.php and it was gone. Since i call it netpad.gr, i didn’t want it to be so personal, so there is no room for my photo.

/*
*Remove header gravatar
*/
add_filter ( 'highwind_header_gravatar', '__return_false' );

Second, i changed the position of the post date

I removed the post date from above the post title and added it with the rest of the meta info just beneath the title. Btw there are a lot of hooks, if not all of them, inside includes/theme_actions.php. So, there are a lot of options to modify this theme easily with a few lines of code. 

/*
*Tweak the post meta
*/
remove_action ( 'highwind_entry_bottom', 'highwind_post_meta' );
add_action ( 'highwind_entry_bottom', 'gt_post_meta', 10 );
function gt_post_meta() {
if ( ! is_page() ) {
?>

', ', ','' ); ?>



 }
}

More posts will be added in netpad.gr when there is time to add posts and when there is an interesting subject to write about.
