Theme It UP!

With my new site upgrade, it is INFINITELY easier and cooler for me to change the theme. As I used to with my MySpace (back when those were cool), I am going to change the site theme on holidays. I will find clever things to work into the background on the sides, and I will use a variable color palette for the two tones of the background (right now black and dark grey).

If you have no idea what I am talking about, here is an example of a theme for my site. (Also, this is a sneak peek at the photoshop image I used as a basis for my site!)

So here is what I am looking for:

What holidays should I change my website for? Any odd or little-known holidays would be great, seeing as I have an easy template to modify and plenty of free time, apparently. Just comment on this blog with any number of holiday names (along with their dates), and I will attempt to create a suitable theme for them and display it on the correct date.

Do not hold anything back from this. I want to see who my listening audience is, and I want some crazy ideas to work with.

The Site Is UP!

It took a whole lot of blitzkrieg-style coding, but my site is now up! It is working really nicely, and holds a lot of promise! I will FINALLY be able to post my thoughts on here, which is also an attractive and easy to find venue. If you haven't already figured it out, this is a blog that is run through Blogger, so if you have a Blogger account, you can log in and comment on these posts!

At any rate, I am very happy with the progress I have made in web design. I would NEVER have thought this site possible this soon, and I am very thankful!

Anyways, hope you keep coming back, because I only intend to add more content!
