I've optimized my blog (and thus my Greencode Wordpress theme) for browsing on the Nintendo Wii. So if you read my blog on the Wii, it will look like this:

It was pretty easy, and you can do it too, by following these two simple steps:

1. Create a Wii-friendly stylesheet. This is similar to creating a mobile-friendly stylesheet, and it involves enlarging the text, removing superfluous crap, and just making your site easier to read from a distance. You can see the stylesheet I created here.

2. Serve the Wii stylesheet to Wii users. The user-agent string of the Wii will be something like Opera/9.00 (Nintendo Wii; U; ; 1309-9; en), so in PHP, you can accompish this like so:

if (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], "Wii;") !== false){
[... wii stylesheet ...]
} else {
[... regular stylesheets ...]
}


And just for fun, I also added an "Optimized for the Nintendo Wii" watermark in the top-right corner and enabled the Wii stylesheet for anyone who adds "?wii=1" to the end of a URL. For example, here is the Wii-friendly version of this post.

I've updated the Greencode Wordpress theme (which I'm using on my site) to version 0.3. Since version 0.2, I've added a print stylesheet (screenshot of a printed page below), optimized the header image to reduce its size by half, and fixed a few miscellaneous bugs.

You can download the newest version from the Greencode homepage.

I’ve finished putting together my first Wordpress theme, which I’ve named Greencode. It’s the same one I use on this site, so this is your chance to be a little more like me; go ahead and download it here.

I've updated this blog to share a design with my main site. Bonus points to anyone who can determine the sources of the code shown in the header image for either site.
