A WordPress Theme of My Own

Updated my site with this new WordPress theme I made, assisted by ChatGPT Codex and Google Jules: https://github.com/Andersgoliversen/ago-wp-theme

I’ve updated this site with a new WordPress theme. I made it with help from OpenAI Codex and Google Jules. You can find it on GitHub: https://github.com/Andersgoliversen/ago-wp-theme

It’s still a work in progress and a bit plain, but I like it better than the standard Twenty Twenty-Two WordPress theme I’ve using for the past few years. My site was originally self-coded, with the blog hosted on WordPress. I moved everything to WordPress so the blog and the rest of the site would be in the same “system.” At the time, building a custom theme, and learning how to do it right, would be too time consuming. So, I just used a standard WordPress theme, which meant I couldn’t have the self-made animation effects I used to have on buttons, icons, and images when you hovered over them or clicked them. I’ve added some of those back into this new theme.

Codex and Jules are coding agents that can work on many tasks in parallel. Which means they can understand and make changes to entire Git repositories, which really is required AI to be helpful on multi-file projects like building a theme. Knowing how I wanted things to be, and going step-by-step, it was easy to build the theme with the current state of Codex and Jules. They both make mistakes sometimes, but fairly few for this project. And since they are integrated with Git, it is easy to go back to earlier iterations if their changes weren’t what I was after.
