Two weeks ago I put together a WordPress theme for a possible work blog. It’s nothing great — it’s a free CSS template, married to some php code I pulled together, plus some CSS jiggery-pokery &mdsh; and as a tech demo it does pretty much what I wanted it to: it showed that a vision I had for what this blog needed to be could be realized.<\/p>\n
I find myself looking at magazine-style WordPress themes in my spare time. I’ve found some that I like. I’ve found some that have good ideas<\/i>, but lousy execution. I’ve found two that do almost exactly<\/i> what I wanted.<\/p>\n
