A few hours of digging, uploading and activating later, I think I’m almost done with the choice of a theme for this blog. The competition was tough, among the many templates listed at Alexking.org, Blogging Pro and the WordPress Reference Centre (even though lots of them can be found on these three websites, thus not taking me that much more time to check them all). I must admit that in spite of the time I needed at first to grasp how the themes system in WP was working, I now like it a lot; it can be a hassle when not having much time to tweak them, of course, but when knowing what to aim for, it allows for much customization.Finally, the winner is Boredom from Aamukaste (I know, I know… what a name for something that I don’t intend to make boring!), with some alterations in its colors and files. I realize that once again, I’ve settled for lots of violet and purple… It looks like these may be some kind of favorite colors for me when it comes to websites. All in all, the basic theme was nice enough, the dominant green just wasn’t my cup of tea at the moment. I’ll make sure to design a fully personal template when I have more time and ideas, though.
