A New Project
Earlier in the month I posted about looking for a reading list type plug-in for WordPress, and finding Now Reading. I’ve since installed it, and finished customizing my library. I’m happy with how it looks (for now), and have decided that in an attempt to both read and write more, I’ll post my thoughts on books as I finish them. Not quite as ambitious as the “52 in 52″ meme, where bloggers attempt to read & review a book a week, but a decent start, I think.
hello
your site looks great and now reading is excellent, I jus t discovered it recently.
Can you please please tell me how you get your books to line up like that instead of the default way as I would like that too.
I don’t know about coding but I can follow instructions
thanks
thanks for replying. I guess I know you have to do ‘something’ to css to change it from being a vertical list but everything I tried (not being an expert) has failed. I might be getting my divs confused
lol I am spending more time trying to work this out than I am reading and writing about the books!
Your blog is amazing, i first landed to another post but then get interested and thought, i will just look a little more arround to see what else i can find out about such stuff
I customized my Library page by editing my CSS stylesheet (style.css), and editing the Now Reading templates (library,php, author.php, single.php, tag.php). It was all achieved by coding, though, which isn’t something I can easily explain.
Well, to get the book-covers lined up I basically just created a “container” with a width and alignment, and created a book-cover object with specific measurements, and nested the book-cover objects into the specific container. A lot of it is trial and error, which is why it’s hard for me to explain too much. I basically played with alignments & measurements until I hit upon something I liked.
