How Not To Reinvent The Wheel
So how do you like my new diggs? I was terminally fed up with the old theme — you know the one with the scary close-up of my face. Rather than to start from scratch, I had a look at some WordPress themes and instantly fell in love with the Hemingway theme. Its minimalism is refreshing, and the black/grey colour combo really brings out my drawings a lot better. See for instance:
Now all that’s needed is for me to get into the habit of posting a bit more regularly. To my defense, and without going into much detail, January has proven to be a pretty shitty month for both Gaby and me. Things are looking up now though.
And with that said, I’m off to admire my shiny new theme for a couple more hours. :)

My aged eyes find the text too small and a couple of shades too dark. Although it all brightens up (with Firefox 2) when I hover over the search box or click on a link.
Agreed - It does make a good frame for the drawings.

But the comments seem to appear a couple of shades brighter :)
Use that colour for the rest of the text and it will be a fine shiny new theme.

Kudos on your new format. It’s fun to experiment a bit with the template, isn’t it?
It looks very professional, as if you know what you are doing. Very nice.

OMG, who turned off the lights?!

Very spiffy. Can’t go wrong with black & white.

I just turned the lights back on! :)
The black-on-white type is much easier on the eyes, indeed. I may switch back to black at anytime though!
