Theme Hunting

9 Comments

At work yesterday, I actually made up a list of topics to blog about. But we were busy planning my Phase One SBD meals yesterday afternoon, and then the hostage footages demanded my attention in the evening.  In short, I didn’t get to use my list. Well, I haven’t yet.

So today, I wanted to get started on that list.

Food got in the way again though. Haha. I started on Phase One again, this time, the boyfriend is supplying me with the food. He cooks them for me. When I arrived home before 3pm, there was tilapia on the table. We had that for lunch, him with rice, and me with greens. The adobo-like sauce and garlic served the perfect dressing for my lettuce! I didn’t take a photo because the boyfriend was too hungry to wait up. 🙂

So then I thought I should continue to setup another blog (as if I needed one!). This time, it will be about my efforts (or lack thereof) to lose weight, and gain health. I’ve got soooo many health issues lately that may or may not be related to my obesity. Okay, they’re not new really. I’ve had them for quite awhile and they just decided to resurface all in the same month! Ugh. That was, I guess, a wake up call. To finish what I started in July. Eat healthy, and move around! 🙂 A blog to document that would be nice.

But I didn’t get the chance to work on my PC for a few hours yet. The boyfriend installed Starcraft II yesterday, and started to play this afternoon. That took awhile. 🙂 I played SC the first time it came out many many years ago. I doubt I’ll have time to try this new one out. We’ll see.

When I finally got the PC all to myself, I just couldn’t get myself to write about anything. Not any theme. Thoughts of yesterday’s hostage crisis, and its aftermath are still pretty much prevalent, and as I mentioned last night, I have no intentions of adding to what’s already being said. Then there’s the happy news of Ms. Philippines Venus Raj landing 4th runner up to the Miss Universe. I saw her Q&A portion while having lunch at the pantry, I knew then that she was doomed. Haha! But she still makes us proud. After all, she came that close to the title, and she has such positive energy in her.

Then while browsing through blogs, I saw one sporting a premium WordPress theme from Elegant Themes.

All of a sudden, I felt like getting a membership to the exclusive service is the answer to my redesign dilemma. For $39 I could get a new skin for this blog, and one for The Newbie Photographer. There would also be a suitable theme for the new blog I’ll launch soon (once I pick out a domain name). The membership is good for one year and you get to use any and all of the themes already released and will be released during your membership. You can use them on an unlimited number of blogs too, as long as they are yours and you’re not developing them for others. You can still take control of how your blog looks by tweaking the templates. If you don’t want the linky to Elegant Themes prominently displayed on your site, you can take it off too.

Do any of you use Elegant Themes? I’d really love to hear about your experience with them, specifically about customer support. Any info you could share would be greatly appreciated. Of course, if by reading this you decide to sign up with Elegant Themes as well, just click on the banner and sign up! Doing so will give me an affiliate commission that will go towards the membership. hehe 🙂

But seriously, what do you know of this theme club? 🙂
