Those of you who have been reading my blog from the beginning are now seeing this site undergo it’s 6th facelift. I seem to update my wordpress themes ever couple of months. Not only do I get bored of seeing the same design every day, but I always feel like I can improve on the functionality and layout of the site.
So you’re looking at my newest design (that is unless you’re reading this post via RSS… in which case I highly recommend you actually visit the site to check out the new theme). This was a free template I found online, you can find a link to the theme in the footer. I change some of the colors, and obviously the header. For now I went with an easy shark picture. Most of you know I love the beach and am fascinated by sharks.
My previous theme had a nice place for a 728×90 advertisement at the top, and this one does not. Since I sold the ad space on June 1, I still have to keep an ad up there. However, once the ad expires (or if the ad buyer doesn’t care), I want to play with the placement of this ad and try to find a new location. It kind of sticks out. But once the ad expires, I may just leave the header clean from ads.
I doubt that I’ll ever get a custom made blog design for this site. It just doesn’t make enough money or have enough traffic to warrant a purchase like that. Free themes are the best, but they’ll have to do for now. Let me know if you like it, let me know if you hate it.
