After the WordPress upgrade I discovered that my old theme wasn’t rendering that great anymore.
Since it was a pretty complicated theme with a huge CSS anyway, I was ready for something different. Easier said than done though.
On the one hand I’m getting more and more to the point to make my own WordPress theme for scratch, but on the other hand I can’t be bothered, since my “design”-skills are crap. If you give me something ready-made, I have no problem adapting it to my liking, but to start from scratch… I wouldn’t know where to start with colours, lay-out, typography, etc.
So I went on a quest for the perfect theme (for the time being), a search that became more and more frustrating. All the themes that I like a lot are not suitable for my blog and most of the typical blog themes I don’t feel particularly attracted to.
So in the end I made a compromise between a simple theme with great typography. Chris Pearson is known to make themes with that, so for once my theme works in that department.
While language is the foundation of communication, typography is the primary means by which communication occurs online.
A nice thing about the theme is that it has rotating header images. I have added five to the two I already had and you can check them all out by refreshing the page or browse around my website.
So the simple and esthetically “correct” Neoclassical WordPress theme is my current home; comments are welcome as usual.
