Did you reboot?

Today is the Autumn reboot. Sites from around the world will release there new look, hopefully completely standard compliant, with a view to gain interest and a better view of their sites.

I’m gutted that this time around I have just not had the time to take part. I had every intention to have another go at the reboot but due to work load and changes in job I’ve been totally snowed under; well I’m still sporting the Pink for October theme.
The whole reboot scheme has actually changed since the Spring version and to be honest it does not appear to have that same level of input and respect of previous incarnations; to demonstrate long standing reboot successor Matt Brett is not on the list, in fact none of the big names in standards and designs appear to be there. That said congratulations to every one that took part.

A theme is born

It has been in the back of my mind for quite a while now; create your own WordPress theme.

The problem is that I have not really got the inspiration to sit there and come up with something interesting. There are plenty of ideas swirling around in the grey matter, I even started planning out some rough ideas before Christmas but I think they got lost in the post Crimbo tidy up.
Every time I log on or view a blog I find a different aspect I like the look of, which reminds me of my long term plan to build my own theme. Finally I think I found the drive to put this into motion. It did not come from a site layout but more a person’s plan to release a theme a day for a week.

If you are not aware Phu is planning to release a theme a day for a week. Now I know Phu is damn good coder and quite the visionary but if he can code a theme in a night and release it; take a look for your self they are not two bob hacks they are respectable themes, then why can I not get off my ass and have something to show for all the thoughts.
Last night I finally put pen to paper and tips to keys to start planning out some ideas. At present I have no idea, name or set scheme to stick to, this will just be creative flow.

Grey

Hot on the heels of Billet comes Grey

It’s my second style, something with a difference, I’m afraid it is not fully complete and is only offered in a Beta state, but due to work load I have not got the time to finish it, feel free to try.

Enjoy!

It’s a billet

bil'let noun
a small bar of metal for further processing.

Or in this case my first K2 style.
Billet - R1
