Coincidence? I think so.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I seem to have kind of worked out of my layout block, so I have a new skin (er, layout) for everyone who&#8217;s bored of this default <a href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\">WordPress<\/a> layout. I have to admit it&#8217;s not really my kind of layout&#8211;sure, it looks professional and all, but it&#8217;s also terribly generic. And the CSS is a pain to edit. :faint: Not only is it long&#8211;it&#8217;s actually quite complex, and I admit I learned a thing or two about CSS editing it :tensed:<\/p>\n<p>Darn it, that reminds me, I haven&#8217;t yet finished the mechanics of the stupid thing&#8211;I&#8217;ve still got to set up a style-switching page and link it from here&#8230; Anyway, check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/undreamt.org\/log\/skins\/index2.php?newskin=2\">Witch Hunter Robin<\/a> skin, and if you don&#8217;t like it, you can always go back to good ol&#8217; default here :biggrin:<\/p>\n<p>I like this skin for several reasons: first off, I got it to work! Kinda impressive, I think \ud83d\ude09 Secondly, it features <i>Witch Hunter Robin<\/i>, which probably isn&#8217;t very trendy anymore since it was released in 2002, but they just started showing this on YTV, and I like it so far. It&#8217;s a little dark but not depressing; it is a little slow but since I&#8217;ve only seen the first three episodes&#8230; I assume it&#8217;ll pick up a little later. The music is wonderful, from the rockish opening, &#8220;Shell,&#8221; to the assorted BGM throughout the series. The animation&#8217;s not bad, either. Thirdly, I dusted off my non-existent PHP programming skills to insert a random quote in the layout. Ha! I don&#8217;t need to download simple scripts like this when I can write them myself. :smirk:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Skin a cat? A domesticat.net?
