Christine’s Journal

I thought I would share some of the nicer looking word press themes I have found on my recent travels:

The Bella Wordpress theme is a nice fresh girly looking theme

DeFusion by webdemar is a very clean and modern looking theme.

I’ve been a little bit obsessed recently trying to find the nicest free Word Press themes available: two reasons: 1, my sister told me making themes for Word Press is a bit of a nightmare.

I’ve updated the R.S.S feed and update system on my main website so that it does not point to this journal’s feed anymore.

I’ve been thinking of changing the RSS feed on my main index of fuzzymushroom.com to only relate to website updates and news seperate of this blog, it would involve several hours of coding though so I’m not jumping to it just yet. I might change things a bit when I get round to designing a better theme for my website. Perhaps an autumn/winter thing, or somthing a bit more polished at least.

I’ve uploaded some of my custom brushes to the Resource section : Christines Custom Brushes.

These are made in Corel Painter IX.5. They may work for earlier or later versions but I can not guarantee it.

Hope you find them useful.
