Yes, I am working on new look for Drummy. The main layout is pretty much finished and I’m just ironing out a few little things. It’s going to be nice and clean and I’m using the Thematic Theme Framework for the first time.
I’ve never worked with theme frameworks before, so it’s interesting to try this. It’s not actually less work – only the work is a lot more pleasant. Once I’ve gotten to know the framework, I’m sure the amount of looking/adjusting time will be reduced greatly.
What I’m REALLY struggling with at the moment is finding the right music to work to. I always have music running while I’m working, but it has to be just right. Not too boring and not too attention-grabbing. Music that is so good that it doesn’t have to be all in your face. It’s perfectly happy to just stay in the background because it just knows it has class and style and doesn’t feel the need to convince anyone of it.

Some people find the standard vBulletin buttons somewhat boring. And to be honest, I am one of those people. But that is not vBulletin specific. I usually create my own buttons for every forum I use. Be it vBulletin, InvisionPower, phpBB, MyBB or SMF. It just gives the whole forum a slightly different touch.
Lookin’ good! Right?
As you can see, I’ve updated the style/skin/theme whatever you prefer to call it. It took me a while to figure out what look I wanted exactly. But I’m pretty happy with how it is now.
I’ll probably make a few adjustments as I go along, but hopefully this is the look that my site will keep for a while. Knowing how fickle I can be about these things though… Oh well, we’ll see.
So, for posterity: at the time of this writing, this website looked like this:
PS: From now on, all the English blog entries I would have put on paulvoth.net will now be posted here. I will keep paulvoth.net for my German blog entries. I keep running into problems with multi-lingual blogs and I think I’ll lay off that for a while.
So for my faithful English speaking readers: from now on you won’t need to know der, die, das to understand my blog.
