ricardo theme ported to WordPress

See it on GitHub.

The process took about two hours, including updating WordPress and fixing a configuration issue. There is some slight mismatch between the two, largely due to platform differences, but I was able to simply copy and paste a good deal of the code.

Issues

  • Is there a template tag to check if next/previous pagination will be generated? I don’t want to have unnecessary markup rendered. Tumblr allows me to do this by wrapping all my pagination code in {block:Pagination}…{/block:Pagination} tags, and the next/previous links in {block:NextPage}…{NextPage}…{/block:NextPage}. WordPress only seems to provide a way to generate the links directly with next_posts_link.
  • I’m unclear on exactly how to set up archives. The instructions in the Codex seem to be a version behind.
  • Bizarrely, the page renders differently when I use local CSS, even though it’s exactly the same as the remote copy I use with Tumblr. For now the style.css file is present simply because it’s required to give metadata.
