Mt Blanc style for K2

Mt Blanc for K2

I have made a style for the K2 WordPress theme based of the look of my current site, Blanc. In a fit of originality I've dubbed it Mt Blanc, you get it?

It's my first style for K2 and is heavily based on the bundled 'vader' style. It likely has a few bugs, leave notes on this post and I'll update it.

Download Mt Blanc

Installation, chuck it in "wp-content/themes/k2/styles/mtblanc" and activate in the K2 control panel.

Welcome blanc


I won't say any more initially, just have a wander around. Leave a comment if anything's broken or even email me. I have a little surprise planned to go with 'blanc' but hopefully it won't take me quite as long as blanc has. I shall also start gathering up my old designs for those who would like the raw (slightly preened) files.

I plan to update this page frequently

I mentioned I'd been work on Blanc, my site's new design now for about a month so I thought it was time to keep a page with it's current status. Im still planning on giving away my current site's WordPress theme styles when Blanc is done. AND another little surprise is planned but not entirely confirmed yet, I'll see how I go.

I'm quite excited about this design but I want to make it right. I have also gone down some certain design routes with it then had an idea for an alternative way of doing it and so to some degree scrapped the last design. Most of the last month or so has also been purely on the home page, trying different layouts and colours, making sure I still liked it the next morning, pressing the delete key alot, not and seeking ideas. There was no use of Photoshop (CS3 beta o_O) for layouts - just an idea in my head and diving into CSSEdit 2 for CSS, TextWrangler for code and Cyberduck for ftp. Only in the last 1-2 weeks have I endeavoured to tackle any more pages and the majority of those 1-2 weeks was the single post page. The Stickies widget in Dashboard has been a useful place to save little to-dos so I remember my ideas.
