Roeminations’ Look and Feel
March 21, 2007
This blog runs on software called Wordpress. Its installed on the internet service provider that I use to operate herringweb.net, and its being used to run thousands or millions of blogs worldwide. (People who don’t want to mess with having it run on their own isp can get a free wordpress blog at wordpress.com, or other free blogging sites such as google’s blogger.)
Independent of the software that runs this blog is the theme templates that define how the website looks and functions. To make a long story short: themes contain the colors that are on the page, the way the columns are laid out, and so on.
I wanted to mention that this current incarnation of Roeminations is running a theme developed by another Presbyterian blogger by the name of Adam Walker Cleaveland. Adam publishes a blog called pomomusings, which is widely known for its contemplation of what it means to be a Presbyterian and a progressive Christian in the post-modern age. He’s active in the emerging church movement and is currently a seminarian at Princeton Theological Seminary. You might find his blog interesting (and you’ll note that it looks an awful lot like this one, because he was the one who created the theme!). So, thanks to Adam for his good work, and for making it publicly available to folk like me.

I like the look of this a lot. I like the three columns, the font is neat and clean, and the colors are great too.
I may considering switching over to this template, but first I have to make the switch to the new Word Press software (a move I’m a little reluctant to make since I managed to crash the whole thing last time.)

I had a hard time finding a good theme once I made the jump to 2.1.2, but once I saw this one, getting it running was fairly straightforward. I’m using the widgetized version (not for any real reason, just so happens…)
