thanks, mike! i’ll reply to your post on your site a little later.
It looks like the “simple” design has taken the lead!
I have that they both looks the same. Did you already choose one?
@esta: Thanks!
@gavin: I’m not really talking about the whole theme, but really just the header. If they look the exact same, you need to use these links: http://jackosh.com/?wptheme=regular and http://jackosh.com/?wptheme=jackosh.com2
I actually have not made my decision yet.. I still plan to work on the less simple theme to try and make it look better..
Thanks!

That’s what I meant with my previous posts.
@wibu: I see what you mean, that does look good! I think that if the bar is colored (like you suggested), it looks best as a solid bar (like you have tried), and not 3 disconnected ones (like I have)!
The blue one is so … blog. I’d go with the simple one but make it look better (more solid bars, make it more editorial I guess).
@gavin: so blog?? haha! Whats that mean?!?! It IS a blog!
I actually made my decision to stick with the simple theme, but also began to work on styling it. I posted my progress here: http://jackosh.com/?wptheme=jackosh.com3
Any thoughts or suggestions? Better or worse than current theme?
So much better man!! That is what I’m talking about. Looks good; reminds me of the rainy day windows theme.
Hehe “so blog” refers to the typical blog site with the templated “blogspot” style top.
ooooh haha, I do see what you mean by that! Thanks, I think I’m going to keep building off of what I’m working with now. Anyone else?
OK, to anyone interested I have made my decision. I stuck with the third theme that I brought into the mix. I consider it a hybrid of the first two. It’s simple like the first one (actually, simpler with only a tiny tiny .gif). But at the same time it’s way more styled so it looks more like a blog and less like just a white page with some text on it.
I’m still going to use my current theme for a while while I “perfect” the new one: work on validation issues, fix minor details, and check compatibility with all browsers!
But, in the meantime, any thoughts?
http://jackosh.com/?wptheme=regular vs http://jackosh.com/?wptheme=jackosh.com250
Thanks!
I like com250, but the white vertical bar in the middle seems out of place. Other than that, beautiful. 🙂
hmm, the white vertical bar is there to separate the content from the sidebar.. its not necessary at all, so I’ll play around with taking it out!
Thanks for the input 🙂
