Announcing… Critical Hits 4.0 (beta)

January 17, 2007 by Dave

Welcome to the new edition of Critical Hits, version 4.0. The old theme was getting a little old, so we thought we’d mix it up and add some features we’ve wanted for a while. There’s still some work to be done, but we wanted to launch it while it was at least operational. Here’s some new features:

  • Fluid theme! The theme contracts or expands based on the resolution of your screen. This may cause some weirdness, especially with older posts, but it let’s our posts (and comics) have more breathing room.
  • Expanded sidebar. We’ve added some extra features to our sidebar, including a poll. Currently I’m trying a “Final Fantasy dialogue box” look, but like everything else, that may change. Use the poll to tell us what you think! And keep an eye on it for future polls. Here’s the current one:

  • Mobile and Wii versions. If you view the page on a mobile device such as a phone or PDA, you’ll get a specially formatted version of the page so you don’t miss anything. The same goes if you look at it on your Wii.
  • Increased security features. With rumors going around of WordPress sites of this type being hit, we’ve beefed up security. Hopefully this won’t impact any of your viewing, but if it does, we apologize, and let us know so we can fix it.
  • New About page. This should clear up the organization of the site and how we run it.

Hopefully this new theme serves you all well, and stick with us while we fix and tweak it, and if there’s anything wrong with it please let us know!
