Over the course of the last few weeks I’ve come to the conclusion that I am absolutely terribly bad at designing websites. Which is a problem, because it’s one of my great loves. I spend a great deal of time reading about great web design and think ‘Oh, that’s so obvious. What an easy way to do that’. I am full of ideas but when it comes to mocking them in PhotoShop I fall dead.

I’m not artistic. I’m creative, yes. But arty in anyway? I failed S1 art and design for goodness sakes! I can see in my head exactly how I want a layout (I’m old skool, layout is better than theme) to end up but I just cant turn that thought into graphics.

What I can do however, is code. I can code my heart out for hours on end and my limits are valid XHTML, CSS and basic WordPress template tags. I don’t do other languages, I’ve never learned. Which seems silly now, I’d love to be able to write plugins and things for WordPress but I’ll admit that PHP goes over my head a bit.

So, in a round about way - I know this theme sucks. But I’m working on it.
