My custom themed blog resides at;
The changed I made were mainly to the size of the sidebars and main content divs, I made to following changes; I changed the width of the sidebars to fit the screen better (it was around 275px but I may have made them small since) I also changed around the padding to fit around the edges a bit better. I styled and created my custom header. I made it in photoshop, I changed the padding on the left-side to 50px, this leaves the header in the middle which is what I was after. I also changed the position property to static so it will not move, this was definitely something I was after.
I liked the theme I was working with, it has a nice minimalist thing going for it. I couldn’t change the height of the sidebars because they had a rounded edge at the bottom. I could change all the colour without altering the CSS or HTML. I used Firebug quite extensively to live preview my work as I made changes.
I did try to put in a background image but I couldn’t style it to cover the entire background, i couldn’t even tile it. I tried a few different divs but nothing really worked. If I had’ve been better prepared I would’ve perhaps looked into it further.
I couldn’t manage to get my FLickr account to preview in the sidebar either, yet another part I couldn’t quite figure out. I did remove the twitter part of the right sidebar and I personalised the left sidebar. I was a little bit let down by this theme, for some reason it only wanted to support four links before it turned my quote into an anchor-tag.
