After working through a lot of issues with my website over the December holidays, I started to look for a more modern and, frankly, better looking theme. After trying a dozen or so, I finally settled on Atahualpa.
This theme had almost all the features I was looking for:
- Variable number of columns, so I could use two for full pages and three for those with blog entries.
- Customizable logo and header images.
- Built-in CSS support for printing.
- A professional looking design.
It doesn’t have automatic page navigation, but I can live with that for now. The theme has many ways to tweak it and allows you to “tiger stripe” tables (that is, alternate the color of rows). I turned this off, but it clearly represents a tremendous amount of work and refinement.
Incidentally, I generated the photos used in the header from images in my collection of screen wallpapers and backgrounds.
Font size is larger, making it more readable for me. Nice layout of links above the first scroll. Good choice.
