After some criticism of my current blog theme — which is called Lorem Ipsum and is from the talented folks at Let’s Mint<\/a> — I did a quick poll (which you can see in this post<\/a>) to see what people thought of the design. About 60 per cent of those who answered said they preferred the previous theme, which is called Cutline and is from Chris Pearson<\/a>, and most of the rest said they either liked this one or didn’t care one way or the other. <\/p>\n

In fact, I had a substantial number of people tell me either in the comments or by e-mail that they never see the design anyway, because they read the blog via RSS (I would likely say the same of other people’s blogs, which I only go to when I want to save a particular post via del.icio.us).<\/p>\n

In any case, I was somewhat torn. I really like this design, which I think is kind of newspapery looking, but a sizable majority of voters didn’t like it. So I decided to have my cake and eat it too — I put a WordPress plugin called “Theme Switcher” in the sidebar, with this theme, the Cutline theme I used to use, the Rin Tin Tin theme I used before that, plus a few others thrown in there just for fun. <\/p>\n

Now everyone can use the theme they like. Once you choose a theme it sets a cookie, so that’s the design you will see whenever you come back to visit. Assuming you ever do that \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
