Really not happy with my blog currently

Posted by: Sean | Posted on: September 15th, 2009 | 0 Comments

There are a lot of different things on this blog that i do  like however there is also a lot i do not like. I think it is mainly leaning in the direction of things that i do not like.

A few months ago i revamped this blog completely; it was to show that i have more interest in this blog and by changing everything and having a nice new logo it was a mark on when i started to take a keen interest in blogging on a more regular basis.

Now i feel that there are a lot of changes that need to happen and that i have started to look into. First off i really want to add a little more light to the design, so i am on the lookout for a really nice theme, wordpress of course, that with a little modifying would suit this site.

Looking around for themes is really difficult as the majority of them are far too cluttered, what i am looking for is a nice bright and simple theme, and i want one that is really quick at loading. I know plugins take time to load and that is what really slows down a site but also so can a theme.

That is onto my second point, any slow plugins will have to go and will be getting replaced with lighter ones. The twitter updates that i currently have in my sidebar really slows down the page load, so i am going to do away with that in my next theme when i get it sorted out.

New Theme On Verge Of Completion

I am finally happy with my new theme that i have. I hope to have it up and running by Sunday of this week. It will be a complete change from this current design. I dont want to post any snapshots of how it looks at this stage, i will just wait until the day i put it live.

I ended up using a free theme i found on the internet after me looking through hundreds and hundreds of themes, and none of them i liked until i finally found the one i am going to be using. I even bought a theme from ThemeForest, and then eventually decided not to use it, it didnt cost much to buy do i did not mind.

There is only two things left to do in order for my theme to be ready for this site, first i want to have my logo made and then i have to add some custom fields to some of my blog posts, i would rather not add the custom fields but it makes the site look a bit more lively when the custom fields are in use.
