This is my second round of testing out the WordPress Theme by John Saddington called StandardTheme.
It has been fun, and I’ll certainly be continuing on with the Theme – maybe even invest in it once it comes out of beta; John deserves every cent for the great work he has done. Watch out Thesis 
 | CSS The CSS stuff that I have done is not really related to the theme itself other that the default style.css that is bundled with the theme to start off with. However I have done a lot of CSS styling. |
 | FireBug FireBug has been my go to tool in this testing phase, that Inspect Element option rocks:
|
 | Coda For editing the php files and the custom css file I have made use of Coda in order to work easily and quickly. It integrates well with the CyberDuck FTP client. However I do not have $99 to shell out for the licensed version so it closes on me every 15 mins. |
 | Eclipse I will start trying Eclipse for PHP Developers for the CSS, HTML and PHP work. Along with the css plugin that I’ll need to find for it. |
Opinion So far
Been wonderful working with the Beta WordPress Theme. I have learned a lot from all the digging around. It is not like I have increased my presence on the web because of it or improved my referrals from Search Results. I still need a lot more work and luck to get that right.
I love the tweaks you have made, however there are a few things on the right side bar that look off. Like the google friend connect and top posts. Do those need a white background?
I am wondering about removing the Post Rank Top Posts and rather putting a conventional one, along with categories, archives and a few more in the footer.
Think I will put a white background on the Google Friend Connect -tks
