More learning done…

And more to learn!  I’m continually impressed with the depth of the WordPress engine, such a well thought-out CMS.  I’ve made more progress on the layout and such of the new design.  It’ll start out with the same theme you see here – its easy to read and very refined.  Though I will be working on designing my own theme – never thought I’d say that as I’m not really big into the graphics and fancy stuff, however I do like things to have a finished look.

Since I’ve been learning how WordPress uses themes, renders its pages, and how CSS is actually laid out, I have begun to understand how I would construct a theme.  The more I think about it – I’m going to try to create a clear, glassy theme, taking queues from Windows Vista and OSX.  To have a clean, easy to read design that doesn’t get hung up on ornate, or “heavy” graphics looks, or over-saturation of color.

Anyway, more to come…

Patience

You know, one of the things thats been bothering me the last few weeks, is the lack of patience in the world today.  Everybody is rushing to “do” something, as if they are going to miss out on some part of life.

Well, it makes things miserable for those of us that like to stop and smell the roses, as it were.  As if getting to “the gym” 3 minutes early is going to provide some miraculous increase in the hours of the day.  Ugh.

Hello everyone, I’m testing wordpress here to see if this is the blog platform for me.  Seems very feature rich – I’ll be doing some reading on WordPress to learn the features of this software.  Pretty cool so far!
