Those sharp-eyed followers of this blog (yeah yeah, hi mom) will likely have noticed by now that I have uploaded a new theme for the site! As much as I loved the incredibly inventive basic themes, I wanted an aesthetically appealing theme that mirrored both my deep interests as well as my creativity.
Actually no. That’s a complete lie. Fact #1: While I had originally wanted something different, our class was actually virtually ordered to change from the basic theme. Fact #2: Those of you who know me likely know that I am a HUGE fan of the show “LOST” on ABC. In fact at this very moment I am completely stoked for the premiere of the new (and final) season! *cough* on February 2nd at 8 PM EST, if you were wondering *cough* Thus combining these two facts, I naturally went to check out the themes that were available under the “Appearance” tab.
But alas, there were no premade LOST-related themes. Beyond that I couldn’t find more than two themes that looked like me. So I made the long trek across the internets to the shrine of Google. But alas, once again my searching proved fruitless, for there were no [free] LOST themes to be found. So… to make a long story short I decided to make my own theme, and have spent the past two nights staying up till 3 AM, slaving away in the dungeons of Photoshop. I hope you like it!
If I remember correctly from class, we were supposed to not only change our theme, but post about HOW we changed it and/or why we chose what we did. I gotta admit, I’m a little too lazy to do that right now… BUT I think I’m gonna put up a semi-tutorial-type-thing to let the other people in the class (and AROUND THE GLOBE) know not so much how I specifically made each element, but how they can edit it themselves pretty easily. Although I think someone in the class already posted on the topic, so maybe not…
Well I guess we’ll both have to wait and see! Anyways…
Happy Trails,
Sam.
