New WordPress Theme

I figured it was about time to upgrade to a new theme, so I found this one, Snoods theme.  Whaddya think?

Because this theme doesn’t accommodate the native tagging capability of WordPress 2.3, I had to hack into the wp functions to add the capability to display tagging in the post.  What WordPress really just needs to do is append the tag info to the end of all posts, like I’ve done for this theme. 

If you need to do the same, update “the_content()” function in wp-includes/post-template.php to the following code (additions in yellow):

function the_content($more_link_text = ‘(more…)’, $stripteaser = 0, $more_file = ”) {
    $content = get_the_content($more_link_text, $stripteaser, $more_file);
    $content = apply_filters(‘the_content’, $content);
    $content = str_replace(‘]]>’, ‘]]>’, $content);
    ob_start();
        the_tags(‘Tags: ‘, ‘, ‘, ‘<br />’);
    $tag_html .= ob_get_clean();
    if (!empty($tag_html))
    {
        $content .=”<br /><div align=’center’ style=’clear:both;’><span style=’border:solid #333333 1px; padding:3px;’>”;
        $content .= $tag_html;
        $content .= “</span></div>”;;
    }
    echo $content;
}

This really the first time I’ve dove into the innards of WordPress, and wow is it rather horrid.  Considering how important WordPress is to the evolution of the blogging community, developers are important, and with the way the code looks now, I can’t imagine anyone would take up WordPress development as a hobby.
