Last night I broke the theme layout of Zotaku by updating the WordPress Version. Currently we were using WordPress 2.3.3, and it’s a EXTREMELY old WordPress Version. I finally decided to upgrade the version to the latest one, 2.9.1. And thank god it worked. I don’t know how to update it manually as I’m very lazy, so I used an automatic update for the blog.
The old layout broke, and I decided to go ahead using this theme temporarily. So far it’s looking good after some customizations by me and guuzen.
Changes in V2:
- Threaded Comments
- Tweeting Blog Post to Twitter (Follow me! – EDIT: It works!)
- New Social Bookmarks
- New layout
- New temporarily banner with mascot chan
- New RSS Banner with Feedcount appearing on it!
Compared to the old layout, the recent posts do not get aligned in order on the main page, like any normal blog you see. However, the current layout is! The Headline and Featured section on the main page will show stickied posts, and scrolling below, you can check out the recent posts!
Also you can view the next page of the recent posts – what the old layout couldn’t.
I am still in the midst of fixing the layout, posts might be slow and all, but do continue checking back!

I LUV NEW LAYOUT.

Ouch that hurts since the old one was a paid layout right?
Same thing happened to me on a much smaller scale since just one of my picture sliders died for now.
The new theme looks nifty so far though

hmmm just noticed that its giving me sa headache with posting comments.i am getting a weird fault message
It’s okay, have been using that theme for quite some time.. Hmm what problem is it giving you? o.O
nice work
thanks thanks! ^^
Very good theme! (yes, I say this because I use the same since shortly. Nice works !
The premium one is good.. but costly. Have to work around to find some other cheaper themes :P
I think this layout is way much better than the previous one!
ahh arigato. I still need time to get used to this theme =X
Nice! Very clean. I like it!
thanks! Now I need to think what I still need to change the theme.. XD
I like the new layout, specially the comment section. Lol.
Lol same here. I like threaded comments, makes my life replying to comments easier :X
comment section is nice. but the whiteness is killing my eyes. it doesn’t have a cozy feeling like the old one. but i think the layout and page scaling is much cleaner and easier to read
Think we all need time to get used to this theme. I personally am not used to this theme myself too. LOL!
