The weeks go by so quickly
… turn away now: Jacob is a werewolf, and creepy, and slightly stalker’ish.
MC broke the news that 24 may not be returning for another season, well okay maybe he didn’t break the news but his was the first blog that I was reading this week to address the fact. I think it’s probably not a bad idea as I mentioned in my comment I’m invested enough in the Jack Bauer character to follow him to film and to leave the ‘real-time’ format behind. MC also mentioned the …
I mean it’s just silly, as if anyone wants to watch the news at three in the afternoon, who cares if you’re first…
For those of you who have visited this blog before you will notice a difference in the blog layout and theme tonight (it’s night as I type this).
For those of you have visited this blog for a while you would have noticed my predilection towards changing my theme semi-often. I mean I try and maintain a general theme and just do variations but I like change.
For those of you who have never been here before… ummm HI!!! You should leave a comment and break the ice so we can all get to know you!! But otherwise this post will mean very little to you.
So what’s the go??
Well I needed a change which has already been established and I wasn’t happy with the back end workings of the previous theme. It required me learning a whole new way of handling WordPress so I decided that it was never going to happen because I like using WordPress the way I do.
My favourite theme designer doesn’t do it anymore so I actually bought a Premium template from themeforest. I just don’t have the time to go building my own theme and frankly I haven’t done it for a while so it is all just a pain. On the flip side though I get to support someone who does have the time and is working very hard making WordPress look better etc.
So I’m all okay with that.
That doesn’t mean that it’s all done though, this is a really good base theme but I have a long list of tweaks to do in the coming months to make it Quit Your Day Job. But I was drawn to this theme for a couple of reasons:
- it’s a wide theme so I can accommodate wider YouTube videos and images, I apologise to you guys who have smaller screens but that’s just the way it’s going to roll.
- it’s a very clean design and it’s very well commented so fixing it up* is going to be generally pain free.
- it’s got a neat Twitter feed thing at the bottom of the page which I like.
- it’s also got my social media links down the bottom as well.
- I’ve got some options with advertising, my sidebars and my widgets that make more sense to me.
So some of what the new site will do is a bit of a mystery and I’m looking forward to giving it a run, hopefully for longer than the previous one. I feel a bit Doctor Who’ish with the TARDIS control room.
* I want to point out that in no way does the theme need ‘fixing’ I just like to customise
