My Lonely City

Why? Because I can. Well, I could, conceivably.

I want to update my blogs to look purty. I’ve done a mock-up theme (or three) for my various bloggy presences, and I want to see them in real life, so to speak.

Anyway, my husband (super computer genius – you have no idea) is using Mephisto to do his blogs (check them out here and here), and I want to copycat. And I like my new design ideas. And I’m bored. So … time for a new Next Big Thing!

Like I said in my last post, I’m going to start being even more flaky than usual, and taking up a new hobby/interest/passion/project every one to three weeks. (Not to continue them, though, unless we really really click, you know?) So my first one is going to be making and implementing new templates for my three blogs. Mostly because it’ll become pretty obvious whether I succeed, but also because it sounds like fun. Which is my major decision-making strategy these days.

So on that note, today’s quote for the day, from the article Creating a Mephisto Theme Using Liquid:

You need to be careful the folder is spelt exactly as written here as this is where Mephisto will look.

Spelt? As in, spelt? Ha ha. I’m mean. And I’m okay with that.

But here are the resources I’ll be looking over in the next couple of days, trying to get a quick handle on this Mephisto thing:

And that’s where I’ll start! Hooray for a new project!
