Template Talk

I chose my current template, Rounders 3, because I felt it was most practical. It matches the criteria for what I believe a good blog should look like. Its easy on the eyes. I especially like the color scheme used in the template. Something about it just makes me feel at home in Writing for New Media in the fall of 2009. The page feels like a comfortable, more cerebral place to congregate.

I had two other templates before settling on this one however. The first was Scribe. I thought maybe this would make the blog feel more academic. I was wrong. It might look academic for Aristotle, but not WFNM. It's just wrong.

I quickly changed it to something else that looked more up to date: a template called TicTac. TicTac looks great with my blog, but I ended up changing it because for some reason, I could not get word wrap to work. Rather than continue sifting through Blogger for answers, switching to Rounders 3 was the fastest, easiest solution. And it turned out, I feel, for the better. Perhaps if this were the spring semester, I would go back to TicTac. The design at the top just reminds me of sunshine trickling through the leaves after a cool spring rain.
