Finally a change of scenery

Sep 1, 2008 Blogging, Personal, Wordpress

In my last post I mentioned I’ve been dealing with a huge case of blogger’s block, which is probably a bit of understatement since it seems I’ve been mired in a blogging slump for ages now. While I can’t say I’m feeling completely revived as of yet, I have finally made a change of scenery here in the form of a new theme, which is the first thing I wanted to do to try and kick start that blogging spark.

For the past several days I’ve been messing about in Photoshop with various layout ideas but nothing was really clicking for me. Finally I decided I’d just scour the web and check out what’s new in the free Wordpress theme world. I came across this great looking and very simple theme called DailyPress and decided that was the one for me. After a bit of tweaking this morning, I got it to look and function how I wanted it to and now I’ve officially made the switch.

Perhaps not everyone will like this new theme or agree with the change, but it’s nice to load up this site and finally have a fresh new look to it. I think it’s easy for our blogs to begin to feel very stale to us when we’re constantly looking at the same layout all of the time.

Now I just need to work on posting more again ;)

Well howdy-do, Mr. Mike! Good to see you making a visit. I’ve been working behind the scenes myself on rolling out a new theme for MAMD. Lots of things in the fire. :)

Hey Mike,

This is a formal invitation to stop by my blog, thepromptwriter.com. It’s full of ideas for writers and might spark a few ideas for you.

Thanks honey and I hope you kick that blogger’s block out the door.
