The previous theme didn’t work out because the sidebar was not working (super-ultra-technical reason: the theme isn’t sidebar widget ready, and the sidebar didn’t show archives by month by default.) So, after a brief stay at Default, I chose this theme called Blue Box 0.1.
There’s still a couple of things I have to do to make it look the way I want. I was able to Photoshop the blog name into the header image, but I still need to switch the splash image (which I’ve disabled for the time being.) If you were lucky enough to see it while I was working on the theme, you would’ve seen this between the header and the first post. The new splash image will reflect more on my own personality and will feature things that interest me. This does not include fly-fishing (or whatever it is that guy in the default splash picture is doing.)
I also need to make a change to the CSS stylesheet: I want to make it so that I see a quote image when I use a blockquote. I see this all the time on other sites: I just need to figure out how to emulate this. I know it can be done, I just need to sit down and actually do it.
This looks great. I like the splash image and your header quotes. It’s amazing how you figured all this out. I’m still trying to figure out how to get the 12:00 to stop flashing on the VCR.
