Yet Another Theme
Posted by Jonathan Kinney in Website Software, WordPress on July 31, 2009
I had to scrap that last theme, it would not let me change the “Blogroll” to something else. I mean what is a “Blogroll”? I don’t link to other blogs, and if I did, I would not call it a blogroll. I suppose some people do get into this blogging community thing, and that is cool, but I don’t have time to do that kind of stuff. I have some things that I want to say that I believe others could find useful at one level or another, and I want a place where I can share it with people in a modern fashion. In the future, maybe I will link to some specific ones which share some good or interesting information, but for now, I am even coming up short with what to put on my “Aboot” page.
The theme I had to scrap was called “Slate“. I decided to go with one which was clean, shadowed, textured, and just all around neat and simple. This one is called “Fusion“, and I found it somehow following several links while investigating some RSS plugin that I think might be able to take and generate posts on this site from an RSS feed. I was looking that up in hopes to archive and store old stuff I posted on my blogs in other locations like my MySpace account.
Moving forward with WordPress

Yay! I have setup a new theme, and am pleased with it. I set it up last week sometime, after trying all kinds of different ones that just didn’t have what I wanted. Ok, so it is not really colorful or flashy, but it turns out this one seems to have a slick enough layout, it does not detract from the fact that this wordpress is there for the articles, not everything else around it.
I have also come to the conclusion that I will have all kinds of topics, screw the themed topic idea. I have all kinds of stuff rattling around in my head waiting to fall out and splatter on a blog somewhere. To tell you the truth, it is all connected anyway. For example, my biblical world view and belief in God will reflect in all the things that I do and talk about, or at least I hope so, considering that view point means that I believe God put everything here, for a reason, and our lives should reflect that in one way or another. I will also be replicating some posts onto another site, which from the get go, I planned to have setup as sort of a portfolio, and technical information repository. I don’t want to get too caught up in making sure I only post specific things on this site, and not on the other, I will just copy as I see fit.
Now I will be tweaking the rest of this WordPress install, as at this moment, I have not even customized the about page. For now I will keep it basic. In time, I am sure things will change, but one step at a time.
