So I've decided to change the design of this blog site. And instead of using another one of the "out of the box" themes that comes with BlogEngine.Net (the software I use to maintain this site); I've decided to "outside of the box". Of course, that doesn't mean that I'm creating a "look and feel" of my own. Been there, done that ... I'm not very good at it! I'm going to do what I do best - I'm going use someone else's web design and use it for my purposes.

In this case, I'll simply take an existing web design and convert to a BlogEngine.Net theme. While finding out the instructions on how to do that (since this is my first time), I came across a website that many of you may want to check out ... Open Source Web Design. It has over 2000 free web designs that you can download; and it looks like all you have to do is give props to those that created it at the bottom of the page. Turns out, the theme that I'm using right now (called Curiously Green) came from this resource.

Though I may not be good at web designs, I do know good designs when I see them. The ones I like the best are clean, easy on the eyes, and use screen space effectively. This site contains designs that match this criteria. Enjoy!
