The wife takes over…
Today I am changing this blog’s theme again for the nth time. I hate that cliche but it’s the first to come out of my brains. Anyway, the main reason behind this is that I want this blog to look ‘girl-esque‘ since my wife will take over soon on updating this blog. That’s what I hope. She just recently resigned from her IT job and decided to take a more challenging and tiring job that is to take care of our lovely daughters. She will also do extra jobs on the side which includes taking care of the house, washing the clothes and of course, take care of herself and me. So, she might probably not update this still.
But, we still have not come up with a strong plan for this blog to return some income for us. My wife loves cooking so we are considering to make this a food blog. I think she’s also wants to become a fitness instructor so maybe she gives health tips as well. She will focus mainly on the kids, so this blog might discuss ‘Parenting’ topics as well. I’m also teaching her how to take good photos from our SLR (super-low-res) camera so it might be a photoblog as well.
This new theme I am using is called Atpeace 1.0 by Make Quick. This, I think, looks girl-esque enough for my wife and it looks very simple. We like to keep its brown color, but soon I will try to incorporate some touches of pink and green too. This theme is pretty easy to customize to suit your taste, like what I did to the header. As of the moment, I can’t think of the best thing to do with that huge real estate right above the blog title. But soon I will figure out. (it’s only a matter of creating new AdSense unit)
Changing WordPress themes is somehow challenging too. Most of the times, after you chose the theme you liked that you thought would perfectly look good, it might not. Specially if you have previous blog posts that have images on, if they are too wide, most of the times it messes up the alignment of your theme. (Like this one) You may set the maximum image width on your CSS, but for the “Caption” feature of WordPress, I’m not sure if it will work. So to at least give some credits to my effort of maintaining this blog, I ask my wife to at least post once a week for the new start.
