Easy Homemade Wordpress Themes
I use Drupal for a lot of websites because it’s extremely scalable (like on whattheblindsee). I also like to code my own themes/templates. When I use Drupal I like to use the Zen theme to make the theming process easier; it’s a great time-saver.
So when I decided to create a Wordpress blog (mostly for it’s [...]
Before you wireframe…
I just wrote a post on why you should wireframe. I’m writing this one because I feel like I left something out.
The thing that kept me from wireframing—for the most part—was that I didn’t know what content to put on my webpage. There’s no point in wireframing if you don’t have some idea what content [...]
Why you should wireframe
What? You design your webpages without wireframing? It’s okay. I was like you once, and by once I mean about 4 weeks ago. I hated the thought of wireframing. Layer effects and things seem so easy to do in Photoshop, it didn’t seem to make any sense to wireframe everything. It was faster to design [...]
Regrouping
I guess it’s not really regrouping if there’s only one of me. Anyway, I’ve switched back to my old theme (from Carrington). This is because I got tired of looking at my homemade theme. If I get tired of looking at my own theme it must have been pretty bad. The color orange I chose [...]

New Theme Coming – IE6 Need Not Apply
So I’m gonna code a new theme. I know I just made this one, but the current one has some issues. It’s boring, for one thing. Additionally, the bright orange makes the content harder to read. I need a fancier header, better background, and some other changes.
I’ve decided to intentionally code this theme to not [...]
New Theme Up!
Hey, guys. I’ve been busy lately, so there have been fewer posts. I did, however, get the new theme up and running. If you’d like me to add your site to the links section, please contact me.
Please comment and tell me what you think.
Getting there…
Well, this is what I have coded so far. The comments part was a pain. I’ve still got a lot of CSS code to write. The menu hasn’t been added (gonna do transparent png’s with a text fallback for IE6), the search doesn’t work, the buttons on the right work, I still need to code [...]
