I have been struggling with the layout for this blog.  This is a two-part problem.  First, I don’t have a definite plan for what I’m blogging about.  Second, I don’t know how I want what I blog to be displayed.

After joining Twitter, I decided the Hemmingway theme was not going to work for me because I wanted more widgets.  I gave up on a Flickr badge because I am already using the Flickr Photo Album for Wordpress, but this Last.fm Sidebar is hottness, too.  I scrolled through pages of three colomn themes and magazine layouts but couldn’t find anything that looked as nice as Hemmingway.  It’s becoming really obvious that I need to learn CSS to do my own customizations.

As a comprimise, I switched from Hemmingway back to another custom generated theme from WP Theme Gen.  It doesn’t look great, but at least I’m displaying all the content I wanted.  This should keep me happy until I discover another unsupported Web 2.0 app.
