So I spent a few days faffing around with WordPress, Whiteboard and Blueprint and ended up with this look. It’s nothing too complicated and some of my css classes have wacky names but using the minimalist theme and css framework this is what I came up with. The funny thing is that whilst working on it I felt a bit like a snooker player already thinking about two shots ahead. I’m already thinking of a different looking theme, perhaps a single column affair with widgetised subsections. The good news though is that I just made it in time since I’d promised a self-made theme by the end of September. Yay, go me!
This theme I’ve made has been given the name Little P in honour of the latest addition to the family. She’s a five year old cat called Little Princess (formerly Bynxy) and we tend to shorten that down to Little P. I’m not going to make the theme publicly available (unless someone really wants it).
Making the theme was just an exercise in getting used to Blueprint really and to be honest dusting the cobwebs off working with WordPress again. It’s a year since I last did any proper work on a WordPress site other than day to day maintenance. As you can guess, this is Little P in the image. She’s not getting on with Goerge too well but time might sort that one out hopefully.
So, now it’s here I should be active again. Using wordpress with someone else’s theme never really rests easy with me. It’s like walking round in someone else’s clothes. It may look good but it’s not your look. Dunno what I’ll write about. Just the usual mundane garbage I suppose.
