The West Ring

Lurchers, photography, and a bit more besides

New Look

January 8th, 2008 by Iain · 1 Comment

As you can see, I have made changes to the template here for the homepage, despite saying I wasn’t going to yet! However, the change was forced on me ;-) I wanted to increase the picture size when blogging a picture from my Flickr account, but it was just too wide for the old template. So, I spent a bit of time looking around at some templates, and found this: Cutline 3 Column Split, by Chris Pearson.

This came with a default set of header pictures, and good though they were, they didn’t fit us. I had a trawl through some of our pictures looking for suitable ones, and quickly created a selection. I know I probably shouldn’t, but I must say that I do like the one on the homepage. :-D I think it successfully evokes the sense (joyous mayhem!) of a walk with the lurchers. The first person to name all the humans and hounds will receive a prize.*

Jennie has also created some fine header pictures :-D one of which is currently in use. I think I’ve read something about a plugin to randomly display them, but I’m not sure whether to look into it as I already have the random Gallery picture. Let me know whether you think I should!

*Remember:- prize value may fall as well as rise.

    Well done with creating the wide header picture and the new overall ‘look’ of the blog :)

    One question - why the webmail link?
