In the process of moving my blog to a new web server, I decided to take this opportunity to create a new theme for the site. The theme changes depending on what time of day or time of the year that you visit, so check back often! I’ll continue to add little customizations for holidays, special occasions, etc. (what a wonderful use of my time it is to create little meaningless PNG images). Let me know what you think.
Love this website design — clean, uncluttered, and yet dynamic and interesting. Any tips or website references for a relative newbie to web design on how to program/design the changes?
The absolute best site that you can use for web design tutorials is w3schools.com. They have a huge selection of tutorials ranging from basic HTML and CSS to JavaScript, XSL, MySQL, and server-side scripting in ASP or PHP. This site is a WordPress/PHP site; you’ll find that PHP.net is the best resource for any type of PHP programming. Hope this helps.
Thanks! I’ll check it out.
Would you be interested in making this theme open for others to use?
Great question! I’ve only styled exactly what appears on my blog, so there’s quite a bit of work to be done if I were to make this theme reusable, but I will certainly consider it if I can get some time to do that in the near future!
