Move over, Vertigo, a new theme’s in town!

I’ve done it again… I’ve tweaked my theme.

I’ve tried to keep things as similar as I could to the previous Vertigo theme, as I liked the dark background and the red links. I wasn’t too keen on the narrow strip in the middle of the screen where all of my lovely words and pictures (which aren’t all mine, I must admit) appeared. I’ve created a new header that helps to carry the Vertigo theme through, but in changing themes (once again) some of my previous posts have changed ever so slightly too. The font on some of them has changed to Arial, which isn’t too bad in itself, but I quite like this current font that I’m typing in – which was the one I was using in Vertigo anyway. It’s all swings and roundabouts at the end of the day.

I like this Twenty Eleven theme a little bit more, for the words seem to reach over the screen, for one. The header image up top is huge, and links back to the home page (which didn’t when it was on Vertigo), for two. The titles have punctuation in them; yay! for three. The background isn’t jet black, which is good for my eyes, and Fingers’ typing skills, in dull light (although I lied about Fingers’ typing skills), for four. And the text size is larger, for five… but this is also a bonus in itself! 2011

So, new theme once again. New beginnings or more of the same? Let’s see, shall we…

I like the new look, it isn’t so clunky somehow. I messed about with the 2011 theme for quite a time but settled on something else. Like you I like a font that has a bit of curl, Ariel is great for easy reading but you see it everywhere (I’m guessing you used Times New Roman (or whatever)).
New start, new passages in life.

  Napa SF is the font, Trevor, they do have some funny names… I like a change every now and then, just to add a little energy if nothing else.

Nice tweaking, Sir Aquatom, I’ve tweaked mine too, changed the background slightly, as I don’t want to make too much of a difference, ‘cos I seem to feel at home with black…. I can’t seem to change the font though, but I can live with that. (even though I’ve downloaded so many fonts onto my PC, so that if I try them all out I feel like a kid in a sweet shop, happy, happy happy!!) … Sad Pen!! Doesn’t take much does it? *cough*

  I like your new look, I’ve described your background as a special effect… I scroll one way and it scrolls the other! Love it! I like trying different fonts, but feel nervous about using them… how daft is that? Sad and daft – what a pair! 😀
