Trying out the Thesis Wordpress theme

May 13, 2009

Shameless affiliate link aside, I liked the look of this advert, makes me think of strong coffee for some reason.

Revision in progress

March 17, 2009

Just tinkering (a lot) with the theme, mostly with the style sheet, but also with an update for the Simplicity theme – so don’t be surprised if things look ugly or messed up all of a sudden. Anything I break will be fixed in minutes, if not seconds!
