For Those of You Playing Along at Home…
Posted on October 25, 2006 by Christine | 7 Comments
I was tired of the old design. I needed a change. WordPress Themes makes that an easy thing, and now I have a new design in a snap. I want to make changes, either replacing the top image with rotating photos of my own (if only I knew how!) or Flickr thumbnails. Something.
For now? This will do.
UPDATE: Props to Geeky for the help – now I have the most recent thumbnails from Flickr at the top of the site. Whee! I might do a rotating banner image in the future, but for now the thumbnails make me happy.

It’s so nice to be able to change themes at the click of a button, isn’t it?

You might be able to find a plugin to do the rotating header picture. I tried looking for it a while ago but decided I was too lazy to look!

Find the image in your theme folder. Open it in a graphics program and change the image. Save it with the same name and reupload it into the theme folder. Viola! New Image.
(thats the quick and dirty directions) holler if you need more detailed directions.

Well, it loads faster. I think change is good. You can personalize it as you go. You could add a little script that replaces the image randomly with every refresh. (Ala Cara’s blog at januaryone.com)Images that rotate during the session, drag down resources a bit for the user. So, how are you getting around school with that ankle?

Oooh, this is fabulous! I love how you have your Flickr photos at the top, very snazzy!

I really like the new look! It’s sort of like having to move furniture around and change the seasonal stuff. Makes you feel good! I’m in an ankle brace right now, old injury flaring up. Let’s pray for ankle healing knitting to help!
