The Graphyte

It's a Word Pressing Issue

WordPress is a quickly growing web application for bloggers and anyone that has managed to make it to this page knows that its one of the best new mediums of managing a CMS within your website, be it portfolio, E-commerce or run of the mill website for blogging purposes. The theme I have installed currently is called "Mimbo" developed by Darren Hoyt. A great theme especially for designers or bloggers looking for a non 100 foot blog roll. Props to him for developing a great layout. This thumb, is an example of worpress themes that can be found online and there is no shame in using themes and modifying them to suit your artistic style either, think of them as buying a car and then adding your own decals and changing the colors around. Much work goes into developing the CSS behind these themes so always credit your sources for themes even if in a small space on your site. I have developed websites for over 8 years but CSS brings a new element to websites and its definitely a steep hill to climb when your focusing primarily on graphic design. Below are various links to find a style that suits your sites needs.
