Yes new theme. Again. It’s still looking a little cuckoo. Give it a little time.

This is just great. Just when I slaved myself over this blog, spent agonizing days in figuring out how to install, move hosts, fix CSS, solve database issues, etc, and finally got my Wordpress blog up and running, this happened:

Finally I had enough time to whip up my own theme.

OK. Well. I cheated. I actually based it on another theme, as I was looking for an idea and also a template that would let me have big header space for my little collage.

Yes those are my things. Well except the cookie and the leather tag, those were obviously photoshopped in. I took the picture of other stuff myself, but thanks to my crappy Sony Cybershot and its incompetent 8-megapixel feature, it was too spotted and too blue, despite the photo being taken at around 10am this morning.

So I just nudged up the contrast and saturation bars for the funky blinding colors.

And hey, the picture has a hidden message you know. There was a reason why I spent my first day as an unemployed doing this.

The original “torn-up” look was a bit pixelated so I fixed that too and then added the paper bag background to make it look more organic.

So yeah. That’s it.

OK my miniscule group of blog readers, especially those not living in the land of crappy hosts a.k.a. Thailand, how is the speed now? Are the pages loaded? Any sidebar menus missing? Can it be viewed on Firefox, IE, Safari or Chrome?

Would love to read about your experience with the blog now in the comments.

I still can’t figure out what is wrong with my blog.

Just my luck.

All is well. Back to my old theme.
