Blog theme refresh

Inspired by recent posts by Duncan Riley and Josh Anstey, and discussions with Seth Yates, I took a long hard look at my old blog and started feeling it needed a creative refresh. I spent a few nights trawling through the usual sources of WordPress themes but in the end decided that my old theme was closer to what I wanted than anything free or commercial that I could find.  So I did some mods to the stylesheet and images using borrowed inspiration from some major sites for layout, and a fair amount of trial and error with IE ,Firefox and Safari.  I did most of the css mods using a trial version of a really cool mac tool called Coda (by an awesomely-named company called “Panic”) and most of the image editing using a tool called cropper to screen-grab and paint.net to edit.  In the end I’ve come up with a theme that I really like, and I think will last a few more years.  Let me know what you think :)

    Hi Mark,

    Looks good. I like the clean layout that is really easy to navigate around and find what you are looking for.

    Also great to hear how you tweaked it yourself. I think it is always great to give the theme your own ‘magic touch’ if you are able to.

    Josh
