New start, new theme

So having moved My Trike to a new hosting provider, I thought that it was also about time to change the look of the web site as a whole. It’s looked the same for over three years I guess, although I can’t exactly remember the last time I changed its ‘theme’, but I thought that now would be a good time to take a look and see what new themes are now available.

The design I’ve used for the Malbec web site has what’s called a slider in its heading, a very nice page feature that cross-fades a series of images from one to the next, and I thought that I’d like to have a similar one on My Trike. But it’s not that easy because each theme design has its own layout and I wanted to also keep the basic layout that I’ve developed over time for My Trike and several themes with sliders wouldn’t have allowed me to do that.

But I’ve more or less managed to do it with a new theme call Writee. I’ve had to fiddle with it a bit because no matter how I tried, I couldn’t get the slider that’s incorporated in its design to work and I’ve had to use a third-party ‘plug-in’ instead. The result is that the header isn’t quite as the designer intended but I doubt anyone would have known if I hadn’t said anything.

So welcome to Writee. Comments and opinions are always welcome 😉
