Okay, there are about eleventy-dozen things I could be doing right now in prep for NaNoWriMo that don’t involve what I’m doing, i.e., changing my blog site design. But, then, I’m not doing it instead of writing, so I guess I’m okay.

I really have loved the Notepad Chaos theme by Evan Eckard. It’s drop-dead gorgeous, a delicately crafted jewel … and completely inflexible for anything beyond what it currently has. Yes, there is now a v1.5, with a 2.0 promised real soon now … but I decided to go with a known quantity …

… the Thesis theme. Which, yes, is a pay theme, but I’m already using it for my main blog, and so I knew I could do some quick work with it for Doing Write. Most particularly, adding in some sidebar content. My main challenge will be making it look different from DDtB without spending godawful amounts of time at it. We will see.

One of the cool things about WordPress, of course, is that I can bring in a new theme, and all the content should be copacetic, including link lists and the like. So far so good, and I’ve tweaked it enough that it feels a bit different. There’s more I want to do … but it may have to wait until some other time.
