I have been playing around with the skins that came with subtext and have decided that it was about time to really sit down and get something sorted for my site.
I have been using the default ones really ever since I set my blog up July last year (I cleared it and started a fresh in Jan this year). I had a slight variant on the Origami skin (I just changed things in the CSS) as I like the features in that like the lightbox etc....
For the last couple of days I have been playing around with it again, but this time more in depth, adding new controls to it and the like.
I have got this far now (The skin that I am using) and so far pretty happy with it, although I think it is a bit boring but functional 
, I had a copy of it running earlier and it just wasn't wanting to play ball, turned out it was my facebook badge that was causing the problem, so I replaced that with an image instead of the Java Script Badge.
I have a feeling that this theme will be changed and adapted continuously, as I learn new things I will add them in/incorporate them into the theme. I am a Techie by trade, but I am learning the ins and outs of web development. OK this stuff isn't much but its a start!
The added things I have put into this theme/skin are the:
- Archives Link
- Recent Posts
- Recent Comments
- Adverts
I have also changed the footer slightly to advertise Subtext (the Blog Engine), ASP.net (which is the framework Subtext Uses) and CS New Media (The hosting). In fact, for the hosting I guess I should advertise Si Philp down there too, as he has given the me hosting for this.
Any way watch out for some more changes on this Blog .
