Ocean’s Prologue WordPress Template

In my defence, it’s called recycling.

Ocean's Prologue

I just love doing stupid things like this to make myself look stupid. I changed the colour scheme of Season’s Epilogue to blue and purple. Ocean’s Prologue to match it. So here we have another WordPress template.

All the coding and everything of the original design took four days, but changing the colour scheme took one night. It’s just like the green-brown version of Version 16. Recycling is no longer just about the wider envir­on­ment, but it saved my personal time resources. But if you know me, it’s just pure laziness.

I’m not used to the blue version yet since I haven’t spent as much time staring at it, but my sister likes the blue. Comments?

Season's Epilogue

The way out of a design-block is to rant about a design-block on your blog, because I just finished my first WordPress template! It was the third design I said I was on the verge of scraping, but right after the rant post I changed the colour scheme and now it’s complete… After three days.

So I finally get to open my virtually empty Resources section… After two months. It’s only virtually empty because I have stacks of PHP tutorials sitting in the corner of my D drive.

Coding the template for WordPress sucked the juice out of my brain and I’m waiting for it to recover in 24 hours. Perhaps because it was a first attempt, but I thought it really did have the potential of driving an inex­per­i­enced sane person nuts, let alone a somewhat insane young lady like me. I had to do several peek-a-boos in the default WordPress theme and Han’s How to write your own wordpress theme. But there’s always dif­fer­ences between one coding/tutorial and your own template so that was… trouble.

Well, I’m satisfied with the design because I actually feel like using it for my site design. I guess if you could create a pre-made design that you think is good enough for your actual site, then it should be reas­on­ably good enough for you to offer to visitors.

I’m going to see if working on my Stat­ist­ics assign­ment will help recover my sweet brain juice. Critiques and error reports for the template (or anything on the entire site, really) is welcome.
