JR’s 2 Cents Gets A New Look
November 18th, 2008 by JR Griggs
Redesigned the site yesterday. I originally started off with the Kubrick template and tweaked it to what it was. I thought it would be great to have a site that I completely designed. Did all the changes I wanted, switched the side bar to the left. After weeks of losing writing time because I couldn’t get the theme to work right, I gave up and went with a different theme. This theme had pretty much the look I wanted. It has 2 sidebars which is nice. There was not a whole lot that I needed to do to get the look I wanted out of it. I still spent a couple hours on it but nothing compared to the old theme. So I am hoping I can use this theme for quite a while and just focus on writing now.
Definitely learned that it is not a good idea to take on too much at first. There are still a few changes I will be making but nothing too major. I want to add more stuff to the sidebars. I also may start using images in some or all of the posts. One other thing I changed is the ads are no longer at the top left of the posts but down at the bottom. I like the content to be first.
Let me know what you think of the look by leaving a comment and if there are some features you think I should add.
