Well, it looks like WordPress has taken all it’s templates away.  Some of them are coming back, but not all of them. My template is no longer available. It’s wonderful to have a Beloved who is a webmaster (www.thewebelves.com) and has created a wonderful website (www.kalarhythms.org) and a great blog template.  His blog his own custom design. Which he would be delighted to share with everyone… for a small fee.  Well, the template is free, the set up costs a bit. Not much. My blog layout was designed by someone else (see the bottom for the kids who created the original template) but my Beloved modified it to add the things I wanted, like tags. But once he did that, I realized that I have WAY to many tags and started to clean it up. That turned out to be a bit job. I had tags that were categories. From the redundant department of redundancy. It’s a challenge to keep the balance between too many tags and not enough definition of posts.

My Beloved has set up many blogs for other, but just recently started writing his own. He said to me … “This blogging is fun.” Hey, I knew that. His blog is nice. It’s clean and the content is the main focus, not the layout.

I didn’t realize that it would be so hard to choose a look for my blog. Wordpress has something like 1,600 themes to choose from.  There isn’t any with cows or koi so those 2 were out.  At least none that I could find.  I managed to narrow down the list to 4.  Granted I didn’t look at every single last theme.  There were criteria that was important to me.

  • Cat Sitting on a Wall
  • Sticky Notes
  • Translucent Fluidity
  • YAAARR!! Tis Me Blog!

But how do I choose which on I really want?  I’m leaning toward Sticky Notes or Translucent Fluidity.  Cats… I have enough of them… do I really need them on my blog?  I have 3 around me right now.  Steve & Houdini are snoring and Bubbies is not happy with the room she has.  She wants more space.  Add Archimedes on top of the upside down Steve.

Translucent Fluidity is pretty and purple.  Sticky Notes is fun.  And it the main part kind of looks like a notepad.  I don’t like the name of the boat on the YAAARR!! one, but it’s fun.  So.  Let me go get my quarter and deside.  And probably by the time you read this… I’ll have chosen, so you’ll know.
