Design Drain!
For quite some time now, I’ve been telling myself that I will finally create a custom design for my poor template-based website. I have yet to do that and its only because I have no inspiration to do so. I’m not sure why though? In the past, visitors to my site always complained to me about how I would change my layouts every week and if I had ever actually left one up for more then that! Now it’s like; Yay you changed the layout, but to another crappy premade WordPress template…not so great.
Like most people I try visiting CSS galleries and other’s website to find that “OMG instant inspiration”, but it just doesn’t come to me. I’m wondering if maybe my creative juices are just being sucked up by me working on client websites? Makes sense and then it doesn’t, right?
Well, I dunno. I just felt like ranting about this, since it have been on my mind for quite sometime and hopefully SOON everyone can see a much tasteful layout then the normal template. =(
Question of the day: What helps inspire you to create a new layout for your website?
PS: YAY! Barack Obama is president! =D

As lame as it sounds, my latest was inspired by Obama himself – red white and blue, and modelled after his own campaign website.
So, I guess my suggestion would just be to take inspiration from whatever you feel passionately about!

I’ve always been meaning to write my own theme from scratch but it’s so hard to get into when there are so many nice themes out there! I still haven’t written one yet.. only modifying nice ones that I find online. =P
