Remodel
As you might can see, I selected a new Wordpress theme. It’s variable-width, so most monitors will display a lot more text than my old theme. It’s easier to work with and pretty clean-looking. I didn’t want anything too gloppy and graphicky, as I put enough junk in here myself. Still have to find a way to embed a photo in the header, but you were probably tired of the old one anyway.
I also upgraded to a newer version of Wordpress on Saturday. It didn’t work quite right, and everything I did made it worse, right up to the point where the blog just disappeared. The collective wailing from hip cafes across the country was heart-rending, so I spent a lot of the day Saturday learning how to use my web host’s Backup and Restore utility. That’s one of the advantages of not having posted for a week - nothing was lost on the restore.
Nicely done, but then I always liked the last version, too. I’m a fan of continuous change.
It’s a nice new look, but I do miss the header photo. Hope you can figure that out soon.
wow. i thought i was lost. well, maybe i am, but now i recognize chez perils.
I like it. Clean, simple, readable.
Of course, I read via RSS, so…
Well done, Phil.
Reason #4,378 why I do not have a blog.
Springer - see the next post up, then!
Robin - I poked it a few times, and it made some very ugly responses. I’ll try a bit later, or change to another theme. I really want a photo header.
Roger - I’m sure it was the inimitable prose that you recognized.
Chuck - I find that so much stuff goes missing in the RSS readers (I use Bloglines) that I don’t mind the extra clicky.
Carroll - why? Because I took the theme you wanted? I’ll license it to you for a modest monthly fee. No, I’ll charge you by the word. See our rate sheet for photos.
Love the new look! Oh how easy it is to spend an entire day fixing what you just meant to make a little change on!! On my Blog my little car just seems to drive away, and then, it’s parked back on my page again! Little Internet joyriders perhaps!
Wordpress doesn’t allow changes to the template, does it?
