Hi all!

Just a quick post to mention the updated “post footer” changes that I came up with.  Since adding a few additional services here on my blog, I’ve disliked how messy and unorganized the bottom of each post had become.  So today, I set out to tidy it up a bit and make it a bit more pleasant to look at.

I’ve simply defined a specific section for the “footer” of each post that draws a border, added light background shading, consistent font size, and a simple table to hold the “ShareThis” feature on the right-side of the column.  I think it helps define the end of one post and lets the header text of the next post stand out a bit better.  Previously it seemed like it rambled from header, to post content, to some tagging, to sharing options, to related posts, and finally to the post meta data at the end.

The base theme is Misty Look by Sadish Bala, currently in version 3.5 supporting WordPress 2.3.x.  I’ve made several customizations over the past year and have found the code fairly easy to modify if you’ve got a reasonable understanding of HTML and PHP.  Let me know if you have a question on what I’ve done, I’m happy to share what I’ve learned.

I hope you agree that this makes each post a bit more readable, and isolates the post meta data that can be skipped if you want.  If you don’t agree… well I sure would like to hear your opinions!  My goal is to have things readable, fairly organized, and hopefully, easy to read for you when you come to visit.  Just leave a comment if you have an idea or feedback – I’d love to hear your thoughts!
