Blog Theme Decision
Written by Lynn on January 22nd, 2008Well, I am sticking with the 3-column Cutline theme by Chris Pearson. I love its features. I love the fact that you can insert a little bit of code and have the random headers. Eventually, I will learn to work with the custom CSS sheet to change all the colors and background at will.
So, even though I love the black, I have decided that I will just continue to learn all I can about the Cutline themes (I feel Chris Pearson will certainly continue to make more themes and probably will continue to change Cutline as Wordpress changes).
To quench my thirst for a black background — for now, I have designed five random headers on black backgrounds. They all have an ornate, Victorian flair, which I absolutely love, as evidenced by one of my other sites, Innately Gray. I find that I love making headers. (Like I needed anything else to draw me to my computer each day.)
Are these some little sweeties? And isn’t it cool how you can crop them neatly right out of a picture and use them in wonderful graphic projects? Well, I think so anyway.

Love all the pretty things to look at on your site. Personally though I’m glad you’re keeping the background white. Black is SOOOO hard to read!

Thanks, Emily. Yes, I have read and heard that black on line is hard on the eyes. The black is dramatic and I do want to use black, but maybe on my terms. I love learning about this — building sites and making graphics.
