I ♥ K2

Since I came across the K2 theme for WordPress back in the day when it was still in Beta 1, I haven’t used any other theme. Since then, I’ve learnt a heap about CSS and PHP, though I still have a long way to go, but I have managed to do a few mods and hacks to my blog over the years. One mod that I’ve been wanting to do is a single column layout with possible some content on the bottom. I’ve tried over the years to do this, but I always seem to loose interest and don’t end up doing anything.

Today I installed the latest release of K2, Release Candidate 3, and to my surprise in the settings there was an option for 1 column. I tried this out and instantly thought, that’s what I’ve been wanting!! The other good thing is that having this built into K2 is that I can now use the K2 module system for the sidebars.

I don’t know how long this single column feature has been implemented into K, but it was a nice surprise.

    I like it. I have not been blogging in a long time. Got bored with it. I do like this layout, and might have to start back again.

    I’ve been working with K2 for a little while now on some friend’s sites and I was pleasantly surprised too. It’s really powerful and clean now.

    Indeed Ben, it’s is clean, that I like very much. Also, I’ve found a lot of issues I’ve been previously having are now gone. Especially in regards to K2’s own sidebar module system.
