This is a new theme that I have been developing for too long. As I’m sure you can tell it’s not perfect yet but as the saying goes “Art is never finished, only abandoned”. So in the interest of just getting it up there to get feedback, here it is. The theme is called “Modern Classic”, if you can think of a better one, let me know. The comments do not work yet so send me an email, johnekingsley@gmail.com. I will update theis theme as time goes by so bear with me. I hope you enjoy the new look!

Change scares me. http://lifestraightup.com/posts/wtf-change-scares-me/ http://lifestraightup.com/posts/wtf-change-scares-me/#comments Thu, 12 Feb 2009 03:47:23 +0000 John Kingsley http://lifestraightup.com/?p=134 I will constantly be playing around with my theme and making it better. So, tonight I played around with the CSS and made my design more monochromatic. Don’t worry you can still get the old look back. Scroll to the bottom of the page in the footer there are two links, one says Orig. Style . That is… you guessed it the original style with the orange and green. The second link is B&W Style, that is the current default style, the monochromatic one. You can switch back and forth at will. I will regularly update and generally play around with the design so don’t freak out if you wander by and things look crazy. As I get more cool projects under my belt they will be listed on the projects page.

Take a look around, kick the tires play with the switches and dongles. It’s still in beta and I know there is still some problems but considering that I have done it all myself I think think it is going quite well.

I know that in addition to the design still evolving there is a general lack of content. I will rectify this as soon as possible. I have begun writing like three posts alredy so when I finish those I will post them. In addition to my insightful and funny posts I hope to enlist additional contributors to post articles on subjects I may no be as acquainted with. The first of these contributors is Dallas Fischer. She’s the beauty in the pic with me. She is my wonderful girlfriend and also an extremely talented architect. Also she is unemployed, so she will probably write posts about architecture or unemployment or both in the coming weeks.

Ok, the point of this point was to welcome you all and get you acquainted with the site. Oh…. wait…. you may want to know what this site will be about. It will be about lots of things at first and as I settle into it I’m sure a theme will emerge but right now I am going to concentrate these topics: Film, Entertainment, Politics, Food, Music ,and Technology. So let me know what you want to hear. I have lots of opinions so get prepared for a long a wonderful journey.
