I found this new look for the website today. It’s almost…almost…everything I wanted in a theme. I have simple requirements.
My tag line is “A girl, a dog, and a book (or two)”. This reflects that (a) I’m female of indeterminate age, (b) I love dogs, and (c) I love books. Both reading and, sometimes, writing them. Therefore, the theme should reflect those attributes.
I like fun looks, bright colors, something that hopefully makes a visitor smile when they come to my site.
Since I tend to spend 12 hours or more a day at a computer (day job plus writing, website design, and just overall surfing), that should probably be reflected there too.
Let’s see…computers, dogs, books, fun, bright. Yup, that about covers it.
I use Wordpress to power the site, and I’ve been trying to coach Claire Delacroix, a super-fantastic author with several new books coming out soon which you HAVE to read, through setting up Wordpress on her site. I have the utmost sympathy for every tech support rep out there who has to try to troubleshoot long-distance. Poor Claire, nothing could just go right for her the first time.
Anywho, after I told her to Google for wordpress themes, I thought I’d spend a few minutes today seeing what’s new out there. And after about 50 pages of themes, I found this one!
It meets the requirements of computers, books, fun, and bright. But I gotta find someone who can photoshop me a little puppy sitting on the table behind that monitor.
How do you rate this new look? Is it too bright and scary? Or does it fit me?
