Personal Blog Design

in Blog Designs, Portfolio tagged , ,

I began the redesign of my personal blog BradRuggles.com back in the summer of 2008 but, as is usually the case with personal projects, it kept getting stuck on the back burner. I finally launched the new design in November of 2008 and continue tweaking little things here and there.

I chose to work with a combination of two themes from WooThemes in this design. I used a couple of their existing premium themes, not just because of the excellent coding and features, but also to show the options available for customizing an existing Wordpress theme.

The completed design features excellent comment styling, custom graphic ads in the sidebar, and automatic image resizing allowing one image to be used for the main home page header, post graphic and thumbnail.
