Redesign

It’s that time again.

The current ‘face’ theme has journeyed through the latter part of 2006 and it is time for it to go. I have (and continue) to quite like the header and colours, yet the theme itself has some issues in archiving and searching..

I am tempted to attempt to run with a three column WordPress theme as my sidebar really just is too long. A new header image is in order and you can vote on whether I should change the colour scheme. Header fonts will as always stay the same as they did in the jump from Blogger to WordPress so all familiarity is not lost.

I will not be starting from scratch so if you happen to know of any widgetised/killer not-outrageously hard customisable free templates a link would be fantastic! The theme will of course end up adapted to how I feel works best for the site. Feedback would be welcome and patience as a few things show up messily in the next week or so.

Please suggest away!

The ideal template to customise (ie: minimal work for me) looks like this:

  • Simple font in basic colours (not too hard to change though)
  • Header image that is in one piece and has the actual title within the image area or invisible
  • Background colour/image in one piece not many
  • Left floating sidebar (Some themes it’s easy to change this around but others prove nightmarish)
  • Minimal link/logos
  • No page/navigation at the top
  • Somewhat wide border area on each side of the blog, it’s cleaner and easier to read
  • Widgetised
