Time For A New Theme Again
The ones among you who still actually visit my site and not read the blog in an RSS reader will have noticed it already: I have changed my theme again.
The theme is called Amazing Grace and it was made available by a guy named Vladimir Prelovac. And since I got really bored with Misty Look in the last couple of months, I am very glad I stumbled upon this new one. I have spent the last week customizing it on my testblog and I hope everything I fiddled around with is still working.
As you might have noticed there are rotating images in the header (48 different ones, to be precise). That is, most of the time they are there. Sometimes the graphics do not load on the first try and I have no idea why that happens or how I can stop it from happening. But I will keep trying to figure it out.
Anyway, apart from that little hitch I am very happy with this theme. I will go on tweaking some little things here and there (for instance the way smilies are displayed and the little category icons on the frontpage), but they will hardly be visible.
So what do you think? Do you like it?
Oh, and I also upgraded to WordPress 2.5., which went smoothly again - thank heavens. But the new dashboard still takes some gettin’ used to. But the good thing is, I’ve got a lot of nifty new plugins that make everything a little more sparkly. At least behind the scenes. LOL

I was thinking of this theme a while back but since I couldn’t customize the image up there. I didn’t use it.
Great new look!

Hi Samulli,
Right now the image is not up and it’s link is http://www.samulli.com/weblog/wp-content/themes/AmazingGrace/images/portrait-bg5.jpg
Are you sure it is in this folder?

Hi Vladimiar,
yes it is the right folder.
But I just realized that I had the first 10 pictures named wrong. Because I thought the numbers always had to consist of 2 digtis I named the first ones “portrait-bg01.jpg” and so on. I now deleted all the unnecessary zeroes. We’ll see if that helps.

I like it! Okay now to show my ignorance what is wordpress, a blog site or what?

Mary, that has got nothing to do with ignorance, all it shows is that you are probably not a blogger yourself.
Wordpress is the blogging software I use to run this blog. It’s pretty popular among bloggers, but of course outside the blogging world it probably doesn’t ring any bells.
Thanks for reminding me that despite appearances to the contrary not everybody in the world is actually blogging yet.
