Cutomizing Swift: How to remove nav bar rounded corners.

By kiko | Published: October 15, 2009

Hello fellow netizens! :)

Rounded corners have their uses but sometimes we need to go back to simple blocky designs. Swift comes with rounded corners implemented through CSS in the navigation or menu areas. However, you can see that Bulalo has no soft, rounded corners anywhere.
So, how do we remove the rounded corners from the nav bars? Satish, creator of Swift, was kind enough to provide the following instructions:
1. Go to Style.CSS, find and remove the following code under NAVIGATION STYLES:

#nav1{ -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:10px;
-moz-border-radius-bottomright:10px;
-webkit-border-bottom-left-radius:10px;
-webkit-border-bottom-right-radius:10px;}
#nav2,#commentform label.comment,h4.postcomment{ -moz-border-radius-topleft:10px;
-moz-border-radius-topright:10px;
-webkit-border-top-left-radius:10px;
-webkit-border-top-right-radius:10px;}

2. Replace with the following code:

#commentform label.comment,h4.postcomment{ -moz-border-radius-topleft:10px;
-moz-border-radius-topright:10px;
-webkit-border-top-left-radius:10px;
-webkit-border-top-right-radius:10px;}

The Style.CSS is accessible via CPanel. It is found directly within the Swift theme folder. We didn’t delete the original code though. Simply commented it out (putting the code between “/*” and “*/” like this ==> /*– code here –*/) in case we wanted rounded corners again.

Easy as pie! Try Swift now! Download it here.

CRAP or NOT? :)

SwiftTheme for bulalo.

By kiko | Published: October 13, 2009

Hello fellow netizens. :D

There were a lot of changes with this blog. First was the new domain (we were formerly ReapMoneyOnline) and then this new theme we are in. Took us some time to find the theme that we feel will meet the needs of this blog and its readers. We wanted something simple, we wanted something easy, and we wanted something fast! We got Swift!

Swift is a newcomer to the free WordPress theme scene and, truthfully, it isn’t perfect, yet. However, the beauty of this theme lies not in maturity or being feature-filled but in the complete support of its creator, Satish, to Swift users.

Satish actively solicits ideas from Swift users, incorporating them into future revisions of the theme, without losing sight of the goal of making it the fastest and easiest theme to customize. Swift, therefore, has the potential to be THE bloggers’ theme of choice.

Nuff said, see for yourself. Download Swift here and visit the support forum here.

Is this post crap or not? :D

Web users spend more time on content-rich sites.

Hello fellow netizens! :D

There’s a new study by the Online Publishers Association or OPA that says web users spend 42% of their time online on content sites. OPA segregated all sites into 5 groups: Commerce, Communications, Community, Content, and Search.

Commerce sites include the like of Amazon and eBay. Examples of communication sites are Yahoo mail and Gmail. Popular community sites include MySpace and Facebook. Search is, of course, represented by Google and Yahoo Search. Content sites are what make up most of the web with giants such as wikipedia, CNN, and NatGeo leading this highly diverse category.

Here’s the breakdown of the time spent by surfers in the 5 categories:

1. Content = 42%
2. Communication = 27%
3. Community = 13%
4. Commerce = 13%
5. Search = 5%

People’s habit of reading content sites was quite a jump from 34% in 2003. The study suggests that the trend is most likely to continue in the future.

Bottomline, people are reading content sites like blogs. We are right where the action is. If anybody wants to try and earn some money online, the general agreement is to develop a topic we are passionate about.

Opinions?

Will Opera (version 10) again change the way we know browsers?

opera 10

Opera was my first browser back when everybody was still on IE and Netscape. I transfered to FireFox when I started dabbling with making money online about 3 years back due to its extensive plugin resources.

Opera was always known for innovations. Tabbed browsing was what made me adopt it instead of IE. Again, Opera engineers were busy doing their stuff in the lab for the latest version of Opera. They call it Opera Unite but it’s more than a name.

I took the Release Candidate of version 10 for a few minutes and there’re indeed a lot of difference under the hood. The main thing is Opera is no longer simply a browser but also a web/ftp server of sort (there might be a technical term for this).

Take a peek at Opera 10 here.

Do you think it will change the way we interact in the web? Or will it be a colossal failure?
