New Theme!

Sunday June 12, 2005 at 9:27 pm | Filed under Site

Notice anything different? This Ferrari based theme is my latest creation. I started with a really cool pre-made theme for WordPress called Rin and re-worked it into what you see here. If you hate it, fear not! You can switch back to the “Retro Blue” theme in the sidebar. The blue theme now has a theme selector in its sidebar as well. Once you select a theme, the site will remember what theme you picked and serve that up to you on your next visit.

Just for comparison, check out these links: Retro Blue Theme | Ferrari Theme

The new Ferrari theme is done in the team’s official colors and features three photos of famous Ferrari Formula 1 drivers: Niki Louda, Gilles Villenueve, and Michael Shumacher. The images come up randomly… collect all three!

I’m probably not done creating themes, but two is good for now. I realize this won’t be everyone’s favorite as it’s pretty specific in it’s theme. But hey, red’s my favorite color, F1 has filled my hockey void for the time being, and… well, it’s my blog after all, right?

    Joe, this new theme is Ferrarilisious! The boys from Maranello would be proud of the hard work you’ve put in. I especially like the comment option buttons modeled after the Ferrari logo. Very nice. Speaking of very nice, how about yesterdays race. I still havn’t finished watching it yet (I’ve got about 10 laps saved for this afternoon), but the double Renault retirement leaves openings for a point shift. It also looks like Schumacher made it onto the podium…he’s still got a shot at the championship…a long shot, but if anyone can do it, it’s him. I’ve got a pre-race post over at Pasadena Drive if you’re interested.

    I like the Ferarri theme better than the blue one. Both are slick, but this is so much less “quilty” than the blue one.

    Quilty! Yeah, it is kinda quilty. I never thought of it like that. I’m not exactly sure what I don’t like about it, but I’m sure it will continue to evolve like this one will. And there will be more. I can’t neglect my Sharks, especially if Hockey ever comes back.

    That reminds me, Danny, I’m sure you saw the Jordan’s F1 paint job requesting that Hockey be brought back, that was awesome. Thanks for the compliments!
