"So, we meet at last." Or, rather, again online. 8-) I'm glad I was able to find your website. Anyhow, a relevant comment: I understand what you mean about struggling with design. I go through a similar process: Go through the WP theme viewer, pick several, pick a few from those pickings, select one or two. Then hack, tweak, polish till I get something that looks and works right. Repeat last sentence as needed, especially during WP and theme upgrades. I found that while I'm not a designer, I do have opinions. I like clean, uncluttered layouts, avoid rounded corners, avoid bright colors, prefer emphasis on text, etc. Just having those inclinations helps refine whatever theme I choose --which in by itself a design process, right? Hey Murray!
