WordPress Wednesday: AVH Themed By Browser
Posted on July 1st, 2009
When you go about choosing a theme for your WordPress-powered blog, you should probably go through the process of testing compatibility in a variety of browsers. Some themes may render perfectly in Firefox but look like a jumbled mess in Internet Explorer. One theme may look fine in Google Chrome, but it could be completely unreadable when viewed through the Nintendo Wii or PlayStation 3. What can you do?
One possible solution is to tweak the code in your existing blog theme so that it is compatible with all of these different browsers. Another possible solution is the unique AVH Themed by Browser WordPress plug-in by A Virtual Home. The idea here is that a different theme is automatically selected when a certain browser is detected.
In this way, someone viewing your blog from a PlayStation 3 can see your blog through a different theme than someone viewing the same blog content through Internet Explorer on a laptop. Some browsers may not be able to handle Javascript or iFrames, but you don’t want to take away those features from people who can view them. By using AVH Themed by Browser, you can really have the best of both worlds.
The most recent version was released on June 21, 2009. For more information and to download the free plug-in, check out AVirtualHome.com. The installation process seems to be relatively straightforward.

If you want to use wordpress then download Wordpress from Wordpress.org, upload to your webhost, then download Comicpress and upload that as well. This site has a fairly straightforward, easy to understand tutorial.
