So as you can probably see, new theme!  This is a premade theme that I’ve always liked so I thought I would try it out on here.  The amount of detail and work that went into this theme both with design and function is amazing.  It’s called Dilectio and if you want to check it out for yourself, there is a link to the creator at the bottom of my site.

I did want to solely make my own layouts, even if they don’t even come close to the quality of themes like these, but unfortunately at this time I am too swamped with school to devote the needed time.  In the near future I will really try to make one though, and hopefully a little better in design than any of my previous.  Stay tuned!

A funny little side story I thought I’d share.. After I uploaded this theme and activated it,  I went to my site to see, of course, how it looked and everything.  Despite refreshing, reloading, clearing the cache and restarting Firefox multiple times I still could not see the theme, only my old theme.  I was in WTF?! mode for a good many minutes.  Why would the theme show in Internet Explorer, but not Firefox? It turned out I had the theme test drive plugin enabled to show my previous theme the whole time.  It was a major DUH! moment.  I really wonder sometimes.

Anyhoo, that’s all that’s new in site news.  There is already a new version of Wordpress out, I will procrastinate with updating that for a few more days (or weeks..)

Okee! I think I should be done the layout by tomorrow.  I’ve had a hell of a time trying to make things look the way I want, but I’ve achieved something reasonably decent.  Just a few finishing touches to add, but I know if I do anymore today they will be sloppy because I’m so freakin’ sick of this. Haha!  But the end is in sight.

I’m just about to eat dinner, greek salad and yummy bread. YUM!

I’ve also got to upgrade Wordpress, I see version 2.6 is out.  Ughh, I’ll get to it…

I know you guys are on the edge of your seat concerning THE NEW LAYOUT!  Well I’ve had about 4 cups of tea so I’m finally ready to get working on it again for today.  I found a plugin that I am just activating now (Hope it works) that will allow me to work on and test drive the new theme without affecting my readers at all.  You will still see this theme and nothing will be screwed up.

So that’s where I am..progress will be made today.

Have a good Thursday!

I’ve got a new layout in the works! I’m not even close to being done, but I have something to build on (one of my own sketches) and I think it will turn out to be a very simple but okay theme.  I’m going to be working on it the next few days whenever time allows so if my site is on Maintenance Mode that’s what I’m doing!

I’m going to call it a day for now though, so very tired.

Wish me luck at completing this thing!

Egad, without even trying, I was up at quarter after 7! My subconscious must have listened to what I wanted or something, because I just awoke naturally.  It’s always easier and nicer to wake up naturally then be disturbed by an annoying alarm.  I’m quite amazed with myself for getting up that early though.

Well since I’ve given myself this extra time, I really want to start working on a layout for this website.  I usually always start strong than never finish.  I’m going to browse some websites for inspiration then see what I can come up with. No guarantees, though!
