Thinking about redesigning this site….

Dec.01, 2007 in Personal

It’s time for some change. 3-column design, methinks. Any preferences, input, thoughts? Any favorite WordPress Themes that I should start with and hack to my will?

Update: New theme in place. What do you think? I’m editing it now…

~~Eh, I didn’t love it.~~

Update: I changed my mind. Still working on it.

Share and Enjoy:

From the same guy who made the Cutline theme you appear to be using right now is Neoclassical, which I switched to recently:

http://pearsonified.com/theme/neoclassical/

3-column just like Cutline, a tighter layout but a bit more minimal, for better or worse. I hacked the theme to add WordPress 2.3 tags to each post and I’m working on some other stuff, but I really dig the overall tight design compared to Cutline.

Yeah, this layout looks better than your previous one.

And you are right about it not looking cluttered… not at all.

Pretty awesome.
