Blog theme redesign Live

July 19th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Hey everybody over the next little while my blog is gonna act and look weird.

Forestparks from TheRandomForest.com and I are going to do a theme re-design here LIVE, so you’ll get to follow along as this blog gets re-done.

I’m shooting for a much more personal feel on this theme. I’ll be keeping the core wordpress theme inplace as I do like this theme from Garryconn.com. If you want a copy of this theme you’ll have to subscribe to his blog to get it. Sorry but I cant give it away.

SO what over all theme am I going to be shooting for?

Well as I said a much more personal look and feel. Based off of my personal interests.

Which are:

  • Beer drinking
  • Party going
  • Concert viewing
  • Dart throwing
  • Cottaging
  • Socializing
  • Blogging
  • playing and watching hockey
  • making money

I’m going to have some un-usual blog design elements and few you haven’t seen before, so stay tuned for that.

So as I said I am going to do this live so I figured I’d drop the design elements and photos I would like right here. For you to see and keep track of the changes as they happen.

Ready forest:

I was thinkign about doing a new header and nav bar using some of the follwoing pictures inside of an empty case of beer. I know whacked huh.

This is the first idea I had and I may keep it and do a few headers and have them rotate. My ugly mug holding the theme from the side.

Heres a rough sketch for the beer box thingy

its a thumbnail because well the image is about 900 px wide.

Ok I haver to go some mundane domestic stuff for the day I’ll come back to it later.

Aidan on the boat house

During the summer we had the opportunity to spend sometime in Mont-saint marie at a friends cottage. But I never took the time to post any images for friends and family to see. Heres a picture of Aidan on the boat house, right before he went into in the inflatable dingy that gets towed behind the Sea doo. He had a blast being that dingy thingy but said that the middle seat was kinda scary.

Oh no we’re Hockey parents

Thank god there's a Timmies (Tim Hortons is a coffee shop - for my American friends) not too far from where we live, it makes the whole notion of getting up at an un-godly hour in the morning on the weekend, just that much more bearable. Ok rant aside, it's really quite entertaining to be honest. Comon seriously how can you not find a gaggle of 5,6 and 7 yrs olds suited up in the latest high tech body armour doing battle on the ice chasing a puck around for an hour each morning on the weekends. What usually takes place ...

And so it begins

My god what have we done !!! In our infinite wisdom and ignorance. We have started Aidan down the dark and winding path into the sub culture of the Boarders. Perhaps we should call him Aidan Boarder. Aidan successfully completed Grade 1, apparently there was a 3 hr exam. And a 500 hundred word essay. Man the demands on Grade 1ers have gotten tougher. SO he's going to Grade 2 next year. In his words "grade is harder because you have to to take away, adding to is EASY taking away is hard-right shane" I'm going to guess this is some form of high ...
