Yet another new theme
As you can see, I have chosen another new wordpress theme for this blog. I don’t know why, but I’m having a lot of trouble finding something I like for this particular site. I run several other blogs, and I don’t change the themes for those nearly as much as I do for this one, so I’m not sure what the problem is.
I liked the color scheme of the last blog, which was like a pale green or something, and I liked the way everything looked — except for images. I couldn’t figure out how to add padding to my images so the text didn’t squish right up against the border of the picture. I read up on the problem and tried adding margins both in the post itself and in the stylesheet, but that didn’t work. I don’t know enough about css stuff to go beyond the tiny bit of tinkering I did, so I finally gave up and found a new theme.
But this one isn’t perfect either and I already know that I’m going to change it again as soon as I have a couple of free hours to browse through some more wordpress themes. I like the color on this theme and most the layout. Plus, I can align images and make them look pretty good here. But there are other minor annoyances that I can’t fix because of my own lack of knowledge.
For example, I don’t like the blockquote style in this theme. It’s so plain and ugly, but I don’t know how to change it. Here’s a post that has a blockquote in it — check it out.
I also would prefer having borders around the three columns — especially the main body — but again, I don’t know how to tweak the theme to accomplish this. So… it’s back to the drawing board for me.
Hopefully I can choose something this weekend!
