For some reason, many think that in order to style a WordPress weblog, you need to know PHP.
You don’t.
Or people are confused by CSS and end up using html and tables to create effects that can otherwise be achieved just by using the default tags that are in a WordPress install.

So in that vein, I created a default WP weblog, and altered nothing except the layout css.

It’s not meant to show off any design skills, or to get any awards for ‘best use of colour’, but hopefully it will let you see just how much control you have already without the need to alter anything else.
It is basic stuff – another blog with more advanced techniques soon I hope – but if you have a have a WordPress weblog, hopefully it will start to inspire you when looking to alter your design in some way.

The comments on the bottom entry there is open if you want to suggest any CSS topic that could be covered on either that weblog or a more advanced one.

And if you have sunglasses …. put them on now 🙂

Hey, back again with more sillyness.

For those of you who are not quite… how you say happy with the current admin layout in WordPress you now have a choice.  I have released the first version of my admin UI redesign over at my site that dramatically streamlines the UI.

One of the exciting things about this is that already there are people running with this creating color variations to widen the choices we will have.  Look for more on this in the future.
