So I think I’m about done with my blog theme. It was fun to do actually! I like the banner image most, it’s a tram from the city where I live all blurry and such unsubtly edited to have my blog title on it. Go me! Anyway, blog theme play done with 
Rather than build the whole thing from scratch I found a nifty open source Wordpress theme framework called Thematic that let me just hang my styling off it’s hooks without having to duplicate content. In fact I can build as many themes on it as I care too, each one only containing the bits it needs such as a CSS styling or perhaps a custom page here and there, all working off the main framework. Cunning! I tried to keep the overall look clean and simple. Much as a gorgeous and visually complex website is nice to look at, they can be a bit off putting if the actual reason you are there is to read text. For that you can’t beat a bit of white background minimalism as I always say, well I don’t, but I might if I was extremely geeky and made websites all the time. Hmmm something to avoid there then!
