New Theme
Well, it’s done! (Sort of…)
My first Wordpress Theme is online! You’re seeing it here. It’s by no means 100% finished, but it’s really the first chance I’ve had to really work through the steps of creating a theme from start to finish. Where it’s really lacking, I think, is in the design department. You may notice that I drew a lot of inspiration from the previous theme (iNove), although honestly, when you start seeing so many of these themes, they all start to bleed into one another. Graphically, I’m just not that inclined. Especially when I’ve never done more than some basic editing in Photoshop and Fireworks.
That was actually one of my gifts for Christmas, some books on using Ps and Fw, so I’ll hopefully learn a bit more about site design. I’m also scouring the ‘net for more design resources to give me the opportunity to try out different things.
To be honest, now that I’ve worked through a full creation, I might just go back and make the serious modifications that I want to iNove. Always see what happens. =)

Happy New Year, rj!
I’m likin’ the layout, mang. I tell you… you have many talents and it’s nice to hear and see you use them. So, have you quit the gaming for while or are you just budgeting your time evenly over all of your hobbies?
I hope that you had a great Christmas and New Year’s celebration. Did you stay home or travel to your parents at all?
Things here in Mass were quiet and my wife and I Loved it! Of courese, now we’re getting a ton of snow. Oh well, it’s not bitter cold.
Cheers,

More or less I haven’t played much the last couple of weeks. Of course, I was at home with the ‘rents for 5 days. Even though I had my gaming laptop with me, just didn’t feel like it. I’ve actually found sometimes that the less I play, the better I tend to perform. Go figure.
Haha, snow. Glad I really don’t have to worry about that. It’s more or less windy as heck here. I’ll have to leave the house to get groceries today, I suppose. Considering I didn’t do that when I got back from Ohio last week.
I like this design more, it’s less ‘cluttered’.
Helps when you’ve got 50+ px more to work with, lol. I’m just not pleased with the graphics right now. But then again, I’ve always had high standards. That’s why I might do a major edit on the old theme, use my footer design and see what happens.
