Minimalism Revisited

Andrew — Tue, 05 May 2009 01:45:12 +0000

Well, this site just got more tweaking today to make the theme feel a bit more “andr3w”. I’m pretty comfortable with it now, it will certainly still change, but I don’t think it will be all that much.

The theme that I based my theme on is called Minimalism and it was done by Christian Geneahr. In turn it was based on the classic Kubrick, a theme so widely used and appreciated, I would call it the “Pappy” of all WordPress themes.

With Kubrick’s fine lineage, Christian was able to make quite a nice minimalist theme. It just needed a couple more refinements for me to feel totally comfortable with it and now that my changes are somewhat stable, it’s time for me to do my GPL duty.

So, without further adieu: Minimalism-Revisited.

Site Redesign

Changed up the site a little. More to come, wanna try my hand at making the typography interesting.

I just thought the old design was a little over done, so thanks to the awesome theming capability of WordPress… Here’s a new one.

WordPress Tweaks

Well, I spent an hour or two last night uploading a couple of plugins and playing with the CSS on the site. It’s amazing what you can do with just wordpress.org and a couple of hours.

The theme is (heavily) based on Oulipo by Mignolo. Maybe someday I’ll do my own custom theme, but for now, this’ll do; I’d rather be working on my other sites.
