I finally buckled down and got my head wrapped around css and php enough to modify ComicPress just enough to become the theme I always wanted. The product of that work is what you see now.

Here are some of the features that have been added:

• Live video stream prominently featured on the main page.
• Social networking buttons, media player and subscription options are in plain view.
• Better integration of banner ads and other advertising.
• Podcasts have their own featured column.
• Feed player added to sidebar.
• Community chat added to nlcast.com, cmmonthly.com and geeklovesnerd.com.
• From The Archives added to sidebar. Pulls posts from one and two years prior.
• Sponsor-A-Show page updated.
• Promote page added under Sponsor-A-Show

Still on the todo list:

• Rework layout of individual posts and podcast pages.
• New header title image.
• Add community chat page for full screen chatting.

My goal was to create a theme that could be used for all of the NLCast Network shows. I believe I have accomplished this. It really feels good when you learn something new.

We recently updated the entire website. I hope you enjoy the sleeker, brighter, improved version of GeekLovesNerd.com!

Note the dual columns featuring both blog posts and podcasts. This is a feature I’ve wanted in a theme for a long time. I finally learned enough CSS to code it myself. This is a functionality I’d love to build into the new theme over at nlcast.com as well.

I’ve also featured the Categories in their own secondary toolbar. This will allow quick and easy access to exactly the info you’re looking for.

If you’re looking for any of the old menu items that aren’t on the main menu… hover your mouse over the About button. Most of them are tucked into there.

Hello Geek <3′s Nerd,
First, GREAT show that you do!
Pastor Kennison, I really like the song that you sing at the beginning of the show. However, I am having a hard time understanding the words, at times. Could you send them to me?
Thank you in advance.

Thanks for writing… here goes:

GLN Theme Song

Geek loves nerd, Nerd loves geek
At least she did late last week.
I haven’t asked lately because
She’s still living here and that’s more than I deserve.

She has a gold band I gave her on her left ring finger
And so do I and that’s enough I figure.
At least she hasn’t figured out I stink.
We don’t have much in common, just our kids and our address.
But we get along find and that’s what I’m impressed with.
So join us for our podcast every week.

Geek loves nerd… yeah!
