New theme, & other stuff

Currently: needing to sleep

Now that the weekend is over, I have no more kids’ sports till February. And that is only signup for baseball; the season itself probably won’t start until June. That’s a mighty long time for someone who has had at least one child involved in at least one sport at any given time during the year. Whatever shall I do with myself?

Now that Halloween is over, I’ve uploaded and installed the new theme I’ve been working on. I love it so much! It’s the Amazing Grace theme, by Vladimir Prelovac. I love it for so many reasons. It’s a clean, easy-to-read and navigate theme that can easily be customized with just basic knowledge of html and css. But I was mainly wanting something slightly different in setup, and I’ve been wanting to try rotating header images for a while now. To see what I took it from, you can click on the link to the theme above, or click on the screencap below:




The screenshot is the set of colors that came with the download, but if you click on the link you’ll see how the theme creator has customized it on his site. Both are beautiful, and the photos he chose are amazing! I would definitely recommend this theme for someone wanting something catchy and unique, but not over the top. As for me, I had to take my graphics in the direction of the theme of this site, of course. For those who are reading in feed readers who don’t want to click over and check it out here is a screencap to my customization:



Again, I just love it! I’ve added some stuff to it from my last theme, obviously. BUT (isn’t there always a catch?)….I’m only about 98% finished. I’ve had to disable my Easy Gravatars plugin because there was about a 4px border around the gravatars that I could not get rid of. And even now, there is that same border around my CommentLuv graphic. It just about makes me ill that I can’t figure out what it is to correct it. And I’d also like to figure out a way to link to the comment form from directly underneath the entry on the single page, but that’s not a huge deal.

Yay! I love new designs!
