Back to a Clean Look for the Site

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

One of the things I’ve really enjoyed about starting up news blogs to talk about sports and highlight my photography, has been going back to some very clean, default WordPress themes, and the customizing them from there. The more I thought about it, in fact, the more I thought it was about time to do the same across all of my sites.

So, this evening, I’m pulling the trigger on changing up the theme, going with one of the default WordPress themes, Twenty Twelve, and building it out from there. I like the clean, unobtrusive look, I like the way it looks on an iPad, and I like going back to the basics.

Of course, if you guys see something you like, don’t like, or which doesn’t work, let me know, ok?

  • Why Photography is Mental Health Self-Care for Me.

    Personally, I struggle with mindfulness. My brain tends to move a million miles an hour in six different directions most days. On good days, I can reign it in and focus on one or two things. On bad days, well, it’s chaotic in there. A hobby like photography requires not only that I focus, but that I still my brain long enough to notice my surroundings. It’s a kind of forced mindfulness for me because I enjoy taking photos, and getting better at photography is an ongoing lesson in slowing down and paying attention.
