work begins on my new theme

I have finally begun working on my new theme for this blog, if you were on my blog last Saturday night around 2am you may have seen the early version of the new theme. I activated it temporarily just so I could see how images on my blog post would be affected and a few other parts that I want to change in it. I bought the theme from ThemeForest, I have bought themes from that site before, and they are good quality so I don’t mind paying a bit for them. Now though I am in the process of setting up wordpress on another domain so I can edit the new theme without it affecting anyone who is visiting my blog because when I am editing I might break something when I am adding things into the theme!

 

The theme itself is very different from my current theme; it is in fact completely different in terms of colours. This current theme is dark, and the content seems very squashed. In my new theme the colours are much brighter and there is a lot more space for the content, the blog itself will be much wider in width and should be very lightweight which will help boost the blogs load speed. I am undecided if I will be keeping my current logo for this blog, it looks great but I am not sure if it will suit the new theme, and I think it is about time I got a new one. The current logo is made by LogoNerds, I am not sure how much I paid for it when I got it, it wasn't a lot, so I might try and either make my own new one or get another one made. When I put out my new theme I am going to update my list of bloggers in the sidebar, there is a few blogs I have started to read lately so I think I should add some new links, to show some support :D.

Just An Update

Today i had my exam in Internetworking, it didn't go as bad as i thought it would of, although it may of helped if i had of brought my calculator in. Anyway i reckon i done enough to at least pass so i am not too worried about that.

Tomorrow in college i have a 3 hour gap between my classes and i intend to get more of my new theme design done. I am not exactly happy with how my theme is currently looking, so i think it will be a while before i am finished with it and am ready to put it live!

Here is a little screenshot of my theme at the moment, you cant really see too much but you will get the picture.

I must also get on and start to design a logo for the new design, im not too good when it comes to designing logo's unfortunately. But sure i will give it a go.

I have recently come across a portable version of photoshop, it seems pretty quick and snappy it will be good for on the fly editing, should i require it.
