Theme Change too easy in WordPress?

Posted by Wonder

Maybe I’ll just change my theme every few days so that even I don’t know what web site I’m on.

Jus’ kidding.

I changed my blog theme last weekend to a theme more “immediately usable” for me. I just couldn’t get my head wrapped around the CSS of my previous theme. It was a good theme and Mark’s a good guy but it needs a little work for this version of WordPress that neither of us has the time to tackle at the moment.

Maybe I won’t be able to use this theme either. For a wannabe web designer, I’m a little weak in the area of CSS still. And, of course, I’m still kinda lame at graphics, too.

So, why do I think I can make the big leap to from wannabe to web designer?

Because I love code. You take a script like WordPress and break it down to “1’s and 0’s” and you’ve really got a pile o’paper. Just kidding but I do like code and coding and even make progress at learning different coding languages at times. Everything on the Internet is in code. It’s not hard to get a lot of practice.

And I’m good at SEO. SEO to me, is simply, getting your pages seen. I’ve made a lot of ugly pages so far that still were looked at regardless.

To a point, SEO is a natural occurance, if you’re writing about something that people are interested in. If you’re not and you can’t, then it requires a few tweaks but you can make it happen.

I have a feeling that making it happen is a little different for a blog than some types of web sites. Another one of those “wannabe” experiments going on here, ya think?
