This site is about the author's obviously biased, first-hand accounts of his elaborate and sinister plans for world domination. Within this cyberspace entity lies Archon Digital's previously untold undertakings to commit himself to gain a higher level of being (read as: pagerank and moolah!) and his miserable failures which led him to instead shoot for his minor goal of becoming a successful internet entrepreneur. Archon Digital is a graphic designer's personal site, blog and portfolio site where the author writes about life, art, design, technology, politics, the internet and the simplest crack humor that would make up his otherwise overloaded and stressful day.

This is the main goal for the next three months on Archon Digital, to publish a Wordpress theme for public consumption.

Here is a checklist of what I plan to include in this project and my progress in learning and applying these capabilities:

  • theme options panel – (30%) I am still learning how to create an option panel for the theme
  • fully widgetized layout – (100%) It turned out to be pretty easy to do and I actually overdone it on my previous theme as I made almost every part of the site widgetized.
  • custom fields - (100%) Most of my other projects involved extensive use of custom fields and the needed conditional tags for its implementation.
  • custom write panel - (20%) Just started to learn how this can be done without haing to install an external plugin.

In three months time we will see how this all turns out.

Wish me luck guys!
