Blog Templates

There’s a site, WordPress Styles, that indexes templates for Wordpress, the system I’m currently using to manage this site.

The cool thing is that they’re “plug ‘n play”. You just install the files and automagically your blog has a different look, no customization needed. Also, the styles listed are all beautiful and useable.

Anyway, a while ago, I thought I might make a new style for this site but the result wasn’t really “me.” So Tourquoise and Type have been added to the collection. Check them out and tell me how pretty they are ;-)

BlogCo

BlogCo is a more advanced layout. I’m very pleased with the way it looks. I think it would be appropriate for a company homepage. I am not pleased with the compromises I had to make to get it to work in Internet Explorer. There’s a bug where both IE’s pass the parent’s clear property on to the children, even when the children have a different property specified. So, there’s some extraneous markup to clear the floats. But it’s not much and the reality is that in business sites, compromises are common.

Quickie

Things never seem to come out the way you plan.Quickie was supposed to be just that, a short little page done in a couple of hours.

It took rather longer than that, thanks to my obsessing over the graphics but I think it turned out rather well.

Art Deco

Art Deco is a new layout. It was one of the inspirations I had but it’s turned out nothing like I originally imagined.

Daffy

Ever have one of those days when you can’t concentrate on work to save your life?

I’ve been working on Daffy for a while but was never really happy with it. Today I scrapped everything but the fonts, colors, and the picture and started from scratch. I finally happy enough to post it.

It’s not perfect in IE6 but the problems are minor enough that I’ve decided to ignore them. If you use IE6 you might try a better browser that’s still being improved.

Redbud Consulting

Redbuds started with pictures I took in Knoxville. Once again, I got so far and then didn’t look at it again for a month.

As usual, it looks much better in modern browsers like Mozillla and Opera than in Internet Explorer.

New Layout

Sometimes you agonize forever over a template and sometimes they just create themselves. British Colonial just sortof popped out yesterday as is. The name is explained on the page.

I haven’t died

I’ve just been really busy. I do have a new template for you though, it’s Nice and Clean. It’s my first fixed layout and I’m pretty pleased with the result. There are definite advantages to that style. I’m not ready to give up liquid though. The inspiration sites are linked in the top navigation bar.

Frozen Winter

New template. The one I’ve been working on for a while. It does have hacks (which I usually avoid) to make it work ok in both versions of IE. So you might want to use Mozilla to see the pretty roleovers.

Deep something

Since the layout I’ve been working on still isn’t “quite” done I’m posting one I did a while ago as a brain exercise playing with margins and positioning. It’s called Deep Red for some reason.

Expanse of Space

Long time, no post. Too much life, too little inspiration. Expanse of Space is a new layout that, of all things, works in Moz, IE Mac, and IE6 and has a bug in Safari. Wierd. I’ve decided to go ahead and post it since Safari only messes it up a little.

2 for one

It’s amazing how one layout comes together in 2 days (Clang) and another takes 2 months (Harlequin).
