Huzzah! A WordPress theme that looks like drivel! And I mean that as a compliment.

I’d been browsing WordPress themes again because My Darling B said she liked everything about the theme I had been using up until now, except that she couldn’t see the comments on the old posts without clicking on every one of them. And because she’s a faithful reader who also talks to me almost every morning, probably because she lives with me, I gave her opinion quite a lot of consideration. Enough, even, to go window shopping for a new theme, with the possibility of adopting one.

Well, Surprise! I found one with a layout that very nearly matched the layout I’ve been dreaming about … almost but, alas, not entirely. How is it so hard for other people to read my mind and give me exactly what I want? Truly, I despair sometimes.

But hey, I installed it anyway, then ripped open the style sheet and started digging around in there to see if I could fix it up the way I wanted it. Most style sheets are as hard for me to find my way through as a mirror maze, but dammit all if this one wasn’t plain as day. I must have spent as much as an hour and a half recoloring the frighteningly bright electric red header, uncluttering the layout and removing the dotted lines that chopped it all to pieces to get it to look much the way I wanted it to. With a few more hours of puttering it might be close to what I want it to look like. But I’m done for today. There’s an internet I still haven’t surfed tonight!
