The Devil In The Details

Because this site is about the art and science of Software Development, it’s not enough for me to just publish the fruits of my labours without analyzing every little implementation detail to a disturbing degree.

So with that goal in mind, here are some of the technical artifacts from my development of “A New Dawn”, my WordPress theme, for those among you with an inclination to explore such things.

The two main modules I created while making this theme were The Loading Screen module itself and The CSS Notification module, a cross-browser module for invoking a javascript callback when a linked CSS file has finished loading. A cleaner source listing for both files is available under the HTML documentation link below. These source files constitute part of the code for the theme and can be re-used or extended in other contexts by themselves.
