Lots of reviews, and WP code is used too.

rather garish, but yes, that’s sort of what I’m aiming for, how difficult would it be to code something like that or to get it to the level – i’d rather it looked a little more…elegant shall we say?
But at least it breeds confidence in that WP is capable of such a task
Email David – he runs the show there, and he has been helpful here before. There should be a contact info on his site.

well i emailed him and still awaiting a reply, meanwhile in my drowsy state I’ve tried to come up with an idea of what I’d like, was wondering if someone could confirm I could so something liek this.

now please ignore the fact that colours will make you puke, it’s only because i don’t care and i’m tired, those would never be my number 1 choices.
the idea is this:
Basically when the mouse goes over the bottom three blocks there’s a roll over transparency effect to note that it’s highlight, or perhaps they’re all opaque and become clearer when highlighted with the mouse – i dunno.
the menu at the top should all have a rollover effect which is neat and tidy.
well, could someone do the idea of the theme? when the user clicks on the review, it basically loads it up in the same page, minus all of it bar the menu, with reviews divided into pages I guess. With the front image to the left always, or to the right dependent on the colour or something.
Do you see what I’m getting at? I should sleep and then try to explain.
let me know if the idea is at least possible, and perhaps how I could go about executing and implementing it?
I use ‘meta’ tags to rate movies, so that I get stars listed next to them. I’m going to write up a ‘meta’ tag how too soon, and post it.
You can see an example here:

looks good, look forward to seeing it 😉
I too am interested in this. I use WordPress on my existing site (http://www.digitaldeviation.com) already, so I’m looking for a way to use it as a review function too.
I just hate to hack it up too much. Upgrades tend to be a pain when you do that. Guess I need to do some more reasearch on this.
I have customized WP to make it look like a review page. You can take a look HERE . Not much hack is needed, just to tweak a little with the index and sidebar and also to make good use of the customfield plugin.
