Teach, Teach!

Okay, so I’m done now. This theme is called Rubric, and once again, required some labor on my part. Of course, I now think the effort was worth it (I mean, how cool is it that I, a former English teacher, am sporting a skin called “Rubric,” with a red pen even?) The theme definitely took some tweaking though–first, Wordpress couldn’t find the stylesheet, which I had to relocate (along with all the other files). And then I had this weird problem with the background not repeating correctly which I totally took a flying guess at (and it worked). Then I had to manipulate some code to get my sidebar in the order I wanted it–always a scary proposition. But now, I’m done with themes for a while, I think. At least until after Labor Day, anyway

This is really minor in the grand scheme of things, but it’s bugging me. I can’t find a theme I really love. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve found plenty of themes I like, but none seem to do exactly what I’m looking for. For instance, I think my current theme, Ocadia, is a lovely theme. It would work well for my personal blog, which is where it will probably end up. However, I’m wanting something a bit edgier here. Something techno, something pleasing (not too bright or distracting), and definitely something with a light background for posts. I just haven’t found anything that really fits the bill. Which may mean that I have to design my own–ooh, that’s scary.
