“Holy theme-switchereno, Batman!” – yeah, yet another new look; sometimes the “apply theme” button on Wordpress’ Design interface can bring out the fickleness in any designer; my schizophrenia of late was precipitated by some glitch in a previously applied theme that made my About page disappear. Can’t have that. (and by the way, I’m not at all pointing fingers at that particular theme’s designer – who simply by virtue of having created a WP theme is WAY ahead of the curve on this stuff than I am; my hat off to you).
So, I’ll be a little blue for a while. This, while I try to dip my fingers into this WordPress stuff more fully, via one of my Xmas presents: WordPress 2 (Visual QuickStart Guide) [one of PeachPit Press' great series of well-written, well designed, easy to follow how-to's].
Can a mild-mannered, geek-by-proxy, web-master with straight up HTML and CSS skills (via years with Dreamweaver and more recently, CSS Edit), tackle the world of PHP and WordPress and transform his site into what he has in mind instead of merely some content imprisoned in someone else’s themes? Tune in next year to find out…
