I’ve decided to go for a more dynamic approach to v3 of this site. There are a number of reasons, but mainly it’s because I’ve been sitting on this design for a while now, and I really wanted to start using some of the features I’d set up for it, mainly my snippets column. I plan on updating that part of the site pretty regularly.

The actual redesign was spawned from the need to showcase certain things and to actually highlight others. I knew that I wanted to showcase Manji and Rin a bit more on the front page, and subsequent themes I am actively involved in developing.

There are loads of tweaks I’ve got to get around to and complete a number of static pages, some of which are hinted at the top of this page, but I’m in no rush right now. If I build this content in such a way I’ll be able to reuse it later on down the line for future updates. I wonder how long I’ll stay with this design?

Themes Tangent: What I’ve found really amazing, is just the sheer number of themes that are now available for the WordPress community. We’re talking well over 100 themes and counting.

The trick now is to try and seperate the good from bad, from the ugly. Some I’ve got to say are exceptional themes. Blix is one theme I think is brilliant. It’s subtle colours and clean lines really do appeal to me. Another one is Green Marinee which I think is another slick addition to the great WordPress theme arsenal. K2 is lurking on the horizon, and Persian has always been around kicking ass and taking names.

Having a good looking site in WordPress is now not an option, it’s a given.
