Change of Theme

24th August, 2007 | FSW

Bleak Green 1.0 is the new theme. I didn’t like how Dust-317 aggregated my recent posts to just headings. And not bothering to determine how to modify it, I decided to try a different theme.

Venetian Blind Shades

For my birthday, Gav & Hatty were kind enough to give me some shades in homage to Kanye West in his latest vid “Stronger”, where he’s sporting some shades with a venetian blinds effect. As can be seen below:

Kanye West and the venetian blinds shades.

Although I have yet to add the venetian blinds effect. the sunglasses themselves attracted enough attention on my way to and from the Gym along Whiteladies Road.

The Dust-317 Theme

24th August, 2007 | FSW

I searched through some of the themes on the wordpress site looking for some suitable ‘dark’ themes, but I was a little disappointed. The site was difficult to navigate to find the most popular themes, even then I wasn’t too impressed.

However, the Dust-317 theme has inspired me to create my own. I have an idea or two, in particular if I get my movie, game and anime lists up and running. I intend to showcase them possibly in the sidebar in a dynamic way.

I also intend to add some RSS feeds from my favourite sites, in particular things like xbox-scene, joystiq and downloadsquad.

Finally, inspired by the flickr plugin, I intend to add such a dynamic feature to my main page. I don’t want the start page to be sidelined by the introduction of the blog.
