On Themes

Who knew that choosing a theme – the design for a blog – could be so time consuming? I strolled over to Emily Robbins’ Comprehensive list of 980+ themes, and also stumbled around various other related places, and have managed to waste much more time than I dare admit to myself. So what you see here is the third theme that I have tried on this site. I also checked out two others on my old site. Let me know what you think. Obviously, I need it to be readable, and not annoying to look at. My runner up fave is called Cutline, and if I could figure out how to bring the margins in on the three column version, and better yet, center the content, then back I would probably go to it.

But instead, presenting Modern Paper 1. There are still quite a few things to deal with, like having 2 search fields and the general arrangement of the sidebars to the right of this text. Also, hey wouldn’t it be nice to have a photo or two up? That’s something I really liked about Cutline. It was really easy to read, clean looking, and even though I spent hours (ahem) trying to change the images, the stock stuff was pretty great.

So what about Modern Paper 1?

Thanks,

Rick

  1. Great work! You amaze me with your skill and intellect. Cutline is my preference but I recognize you are in the early stages of formatting this. I am on a MAC – noticed the left margin using Safari and Exlorer are right on the window’s edge, if that makes sense. I looked at Modern Paper 1 and it appears that is what it looks like in their example, as well. Would be nice to see it move over a 1/4 of an inch to the right. XOX
