Nice Theme
As you can probably tell I have a problem with chronic theme replacement. Maybe you have been reading something here and you clicked on another page only to find yourself in the middle of a different theme.
I hope that hasn’t happened to anybody who is a regular reader. If someone just comes by for a ten second visit it really is not an issue. But I do try to make things nice for anyone who comes back for visits.
So I apologize. Part of the problem is that over the past year I posted too many large photos. And now I have to go back and downsize them all. Because there just are not that many themes that are really nice AND hold photos that are 640 pixels wide.
Also when I need to fix a theme for one reason or another I often cannot do the fix. So I have to find another theme.
Anyway I would like to say that this theme is very nice and I am hopeful it will be around a long time. It is called the Mountain Theme and it is by Sadish. The font is beautiful and very readable. I like the blue very much. And the header will hold anything I can fit into it. It has a contact page, an archive page and a link page included.
Most importantly it hides photos that have not yet been fixed and does not splash them all over the sidebar. I like the idea of having the sidebar on the left because we read from left to right in the west.
And I hope the little lines under the photos are going to disappear soon. They are already gone in older posts. It’s an ongoing conflict between the shadow image plugin and the photos. This was solved very nicely by the author of the Layers Theme that I use on my other three blogs. I hope that Sadish will fix it too although I wrote to him about it and he has not responded.
I really like the Layers Theme but it is better for blogs that are primarily photo oriented in my opinion. Although there are plenty of photos here I feel like this blog is devoted primarily to words. And the font is now truly beautiful and much nicer than it was on the Blix theme.
So that’s why I changed again. Hope everyone understands my issues. Blogging is such a challenging and fun hobby.
UPDATE// I give up. Sadish has a very similar theme called Sky Blue. And it allows wider photos so I don’t have to have a cropathon. The sidebar is on the right but that’s not as important as saving hours slicing and dicing photos. What can I say? Sorry? I will bring it up in therapy? I promise not to change it again until next year?
That last one is just a question. It’s not a promise.

Ha, ha, ha…that is good David! I was going to say something about the last theme here a couple of days ago..but then I thought, nah, I’ll give it a few days and see what it evolves to. Just kidding!
The truth is I personally don’t mind the changes even if you decide to do it on a weekly basis, as all your themes have been really nice!
