I’m Getting Closer!
May 21, 2008
For most people, purchasing a template for your site saves money through reducing programming and graphic arts costs.
For a developer, it may save money if you don’t do the artwork yourself, as you save yourself from having to pay an artist, but it ends up costly in terms of changing an already-designed theme around.
When I started out with this redesign project, I wanted to try a lot of new things—purchasing my first theme (instead of custom-designing) was one of them. The thing about purchasing a theme is that it has pros and cons. As I said before, one of the pros is reducing costs through skipping a graphic designer and/or decreasing your development time. One of the cons is that I am a perfectionist and I’m using someone else’s work.
I’m Working On It!

I’m sorry if you show up on the site in the next few days and things seem out of sorts or they keep moving around. I’m building a new theme for the site and it might take a few days before regular activity is resumed. Stay tuned!
P.S. The ads are not real—they just came with the theme. And no, don’t worry, I haven’t changed my tune and decided to serve up ads (if you are seeing the new site with fake ads right now). They will be replaced by something else.
