Its not that plain…

Is it? Maybe it is. However this is just a temp setup. Its actually a theme from PlainTxt. They are really simple WP themes. Basically a great starting place when creating your own themes. I’m currently using one called Simplr. This isn’t the one I’m currently editing but I kinda liked the simple one column layout (haven’t really used a one column design in awhile). I am working on my own design right now. Mainly getting together a color scheme and logo design. I already have the basic layout done just gotta do some styling. Coding WordPress Themes is actually a lot easier then it looks. Reading the docs on the WP site its a little much at first but the once you open another theme and start messing around its pretty simple. I know the site has been pretty slow the past 2 months as I’ve had several new clients and a ton of work however so far things are calming down so I’m going to be working on this site.
Update: I wasn’t liking the white bg and black text so I did a little styling to this theme. Its actually the colors I plan to use for my upcoming design.
On a side note; For those of you who are interested I have a few Pownce invites. Pownce is the new project from Kevin Rose (of TechTV and Digg fame). I haven’t really had time to browse around it much but so far its great. It might even cause me to stop Twitter. I’ll post some of my thoughts on it after I get a chance to fully use it. Until then let me know in a comment if you want an invite.

Nice man, pink rocks :P.
Yea, I agree, when I first started to code my website for wordpress I over-estimated how hard it would be, its actually pretty simple, just a matter of splitting up the main html into different files, and then sorting out divs.

You might check out the PlainTxt website. They have several themes that are very basic and plain. No styling on them. Makes a great starting place when doing a WP theme.

Jay; I just sent the invite. So, far its great. I think its going to replace Twitter for me (which I use daily). I like Twitter but the interface at Pownce is much better. Plus being able to send files to friends is great.
