As you can probably tell, we’ve given the layout a complete overhaul along with the reinstallation of WordPress. There were a lot of little things that kept niggling at us, and it’s often very difficult to try and modify other people’s code to get it to do what you want it to. So, the solution was for me to build the layout up from scratch so we can do with it what we want to with much more ease.
Both Vee and I have been really taken with what we’ve seen of Stefan’s bedroom in the trailers and promo shots, and so we decided to use that as a base for inspiration for the layout, and went with a journal-esque theme because, well, it’s the Vampire Diaries after all. ;)
The biggest reason for the change was that the site has grown so much bigger than we ever expected it to (which is in no small part down to all you awesome people who send us information, visit the site, comment on articles, and link to our content – thank you!), and because of that we needed a layout that would better suit what we need from it for adding content in a sensible manner. In the near future we’re planning to expand on the information we already have up for both the books and the TV series, as well as add new sections to the site for when the TV series airs: episode guides, music from the series, more in-depth character pages, and other things of that nature.
So those are our plans for the near future. In the immediate future there may be the odd glitch from time to time as we tweak bits here and there, or modifications to plugins might cause random tweets or email notifications to go out. So, apologies in advance, and thanks for your patience. :)
