Changing themes is part of the exercise
Yes, I am using Sadish’s MistyLook, except for the header image which I customized using other
themesimages. Not that there was something wrong with Derek Punsalan’s Grid Focus theme. In fact, it is one of my favorites for other self-hosted sites. I switched to a new theme as part of the exercise. I wanted to have a feel of how it is to “re-skin a blog” at WordPress.com.Well, it was not that difficult after all. It took me only about 10 minutes to move to a different theme and re-set the widgets to display the same information.
Next time our friends ask me how it is to blog at WordPress.com, this is one story I can tell them.
By the way, is this theme XHTML 1.0 validated? I did check it and it is.
