Trying to refresh my theme on several browsers just wasn’t working, until Chrome came to the rescue.
…so I was trying to change my theme which is frustrating at the best of times. I read a tweet from Imjustcreative about a theme (NewYork NewYork Siiimple) he had made. I checked it out, and man it was sexy… I had to change my theme. I was bored with my own site and this is what I needed to get it off the ground again.
I wanted to modify some of the way things were done in the layout and every time I changed something, as much as I reloaded Firefox and Safari, I still ended up having to wait until the browser decided it was happy to show me how it looked with my changes.
I reloaded, I used cmd + R a lot, and still it didn’t respond as a refresh. Even clearing the cache didn’t show my changes immediately. This meant that I spent far longer modifying then I wanted to.
This morning, I was waiting for changes to become visible and I remembered I had abandoned Chrome a little while back. Well I fired it up and thought at least I will be able to see the change on it… well what a fantastic surprise! It loaded, I made a change hit refresh – and it REFRESHED! Thank you chrome, I will do my testing on your browser in future! You’re my Hero.
(oh – on a side note, this theme is ace but every time I load the plugin for the top menu it breaks it… I have left it off for now but if anyone has any ideas I would be happy to listen.)
