New Wordpress Theme

March 21st, 2006

What a pain in the ass trying to find a new Wordpress theme for this blog. I have known for awhile now that my current theme doesn’t function properly in IE, and it has been eating at me to get it fixed.

So I finally set some time apart this evening to find a new theme. I have run through all the resources that I can find, and still haven’t come up with something that I feel suits my needs. In my searching I did come up with more than a handful of sites that have some themes. Here are a few of the highlights:

  • Alex King’s Wordpress Theme Browser
  • Wordpress Codex
  • Theme Browser
  • Choosing a Wordpress Theme
  • Wordpress Themes by BloggingPro

    • I have narrowed down my search to a few that I think might fit the bill with a little modification. I am really looking for something very simple, with some Web 2.0 flavor. When I find a little more time, I will implement the new theme.

      What do you mean “some Web 2.0 flavor”? That could mean a WHOLE lot of things, so I’m curious.

      in this case, i am referring to graphics.

      i really like the simplicity of a theme like simpla - http://ifelse.co.uk/simpla

      but i’d like to use a date stamp incorporating an image, as well as make sure that the site is full of rounded edges and uses some nice sized font.

      i have the additional problem that the theme has to fit for my link blog as well - http://greghartnett.com/reading/ which follows a little different format.
