What Are Your Thoughts On A Theme Change?
Guys,
I really like the current design of this site, but I have two reasons why I want to update it.
- * I want to add the MyBlogLog widget to the sidebar.
- I want three columns or at a minimum a right aligned sidebar.
** See these three posts by Kyle E. ( Post #1 - Post #2 - Post #3 ) to learn more about MyBlogLog.
I don’t want bells and whistles… I am honestly stuck on simplicity and enjoy simple designed themes such as the current one being used called, Barthelme from plainTXT.org. Its widgets ready, fluid width (somewhat) and looks good (hopefully) in most all browsers and screen resolutions and loads fast for all connection speeds. It was extremely easy to SEO the site with this theme, it isn’t packed full of coding garbage and CSS patches (sometimes found in free wordpress themes). Overall it is really a great theme for this site.
What do you think of the design of this site? For the time being I am going to put the MyBlogLog widget on the lower left hand side. I really like that widget and want to display it on the site. Ideally I would like to display it higher up because it will be displaying a lot of the viewers here on the site.
The floor is yours… I would love to hear your suggestions.
Best Regards,
Garry Conn

The MyBlogLog widget can be customized to fit into your current sidebar.
I don’t think your website needs a theme change, but Wordpress makes it really easy to switch between themes, so no reason you can’t try a few others until you find the one you like.
I’m always looking for different or better ones!

I like Barthelme as well. I used it for my blog for a long long time. I just recently changed to the more girly one that is there now.
You should try out a new look though, see if you like it. If not….change back. It is so easy there is no reason not too.

Hey everyone,
I did do an update. I hope that everyone likes it a little better. It’s called Tiga and I have used it many times before on different sites. It has a fluid width (great for all screen resolutions), widgets ready… great for making major sidebar content changes instantly with a click of the mouse, three columns… so that I can proudly display My Blog Log!!! (Right Sidebar/Top of Every Page!) My blogroll is here, and all the good important stuff that I want Google finding first: Recent posts, categories, and static pages.
So… let me know guys! What do you think? Tiga is by far a new release… but on the same token, neither am I! lol

Also, just wanted to quickly let viewers know that I will be working with a few minor things… colors, sidebar width, etc… just to make things look a little better here… so no big deal!
Comments are welcome!
