Wordpress Theme

At last!

by

A theme change worth keeping! I have been so tired about changing the themes again and again and reverting to back I had. This is the closest theme I have come to like, in majority because it so well written and modifying it was a piece of cake!! This theme shall stay – a few minor updates may occur, but I like this theme!!

Back

I just can’t seem to sit tight on any theme. Maybe I just like the way my theme looks and feels – I personally feel that all that I need are in the right places in my theme – There is a lot of scope for visual enhancements, but overall, I like the way my theme looks. I think I am going to stick with it for a while.

Theme Change

by

Of all the new themes that I have tried out in the last couple of weeks, I have to admit, this is the best one of the lot I have liked. I am going to put it up for a few days – maybe study the code a bit and see if I can get all my usual stuff on this one…. it should be interesting 🙂 – keep you posted!!!

New Look, Anyone?

by

Ever since the Jedi told me that the current theme has been my longest running theme, and how its gone fat, I have been thinking about it quite seriously.

And I think he’s right – This theme has gone stale.I developed it months ago and it is now looking aged. I like the overall structure of this theme and where each should be, but i have a serious problem with the colors and overall look and feel.

I know I could do the improvising myself, but I find myself with absolute lack of time and too many things to do in my offline life.

So here’s calling all you web wizards out there! Help me! Tell me how should I improve this theme? Like the overall look, the colors, the font size etc etc.

I am bundling a 25$ Amazon Gift Certificate to anyone who can come up with a nice looking eye pleasing template based on the theme I have presently.

The things that I am looking for are specifically:

  • The template / look should be neat and clean. This and this are very gaudy in my opinion, while this is too simplistic for my taste. My tastes would be somewhere along lines of this or this (2 thumbs way up!), the latter being one of my personal favorites in the way the whole site is laid out, it being colors, font size et al. This would also classify as an excellent clean look.

  • I do not necessarily hate the way my website looks. I do know it is too blocky in nature. It does require cleaning up and structuring content properly. Hence, I don’t care where blocks go and live, but I did like to keep the current blocks in the layout.

  • No rounded corners / nifty corners or rounded edges. A little bit of Ajax may be fine :). I hate clutter on websites, and I certainly dislike websites which take more than 1 second to load. So it has to be light.

  • No photo streams of flickr etc. I like the rotating banner photo above, but thats about it.

Other than this, I have no serious qualms about the layout – use your imagination – feel free to move stuff around! But whatever it is, it should be clean and very eye pleasing!!

PS: I am technically competent with CSS and PHP, hence I am not expecting you to make a “theme” for me. I am just looking for the standard CSS, and the look and feel template of the site (perhaps a PSD, JPG or BMP files big enough, nicely labeled :)).

What are you waiting for – a 25$ Amazon Gift Certificate awaits you!!

Simplicity is the key

by

As you notice, there is a subtle change in my theme today. Its gone back to 800px width, and I have got rid of the sidebars. They were too “sidey” :D.

Nonetheless, I am begining to believe, based on my own preferences and perception, that Simplicity is the key. Hence this change to theme.

You come here. You read what’s latest. You scrawl down, and if you are interested you click on tags and see their respective archives. Really, that is all is required!

From now on, for couple of weeks expect some “simplicity” being thrown in. 🙂
