So, I originally wanted to make this site with Drupal, the open source CMS for those who love views (not political), but that install failed so I just went with WordPress. Then I looked at the available themes, didn’t like any, and thought maybe I should make my own.

I should not have done that.

To be clear, I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. I’m just less happy with the amount of time involved in the turning out process. Web Design is one of those things where you’ll do the first 90% easy and then it’s the remaining 10% that will kill you. Icons, alignment, margins, and constantly getting sidetracked by things that ultimately won’t matter to anyone but you. Is this theme better than one of the standard ones? Functionally, probably not. But is this theme more indicative of who I am as a writer? Yes. In the sense that I sometimes become hung up on something, commit too much time to it and then, upon review, decide that there were better, easier and more effective ways to go about it.

But then again, isn’t that what art is?

It could be! Just let me have this please, I’m so sick of CSS.
