Well, belileve me or not, it is not an easy thing to do. If you build a custom theme, without a particular constraint, such as a particular engine, CMS or an already established site, it is easier, your imagination is the limit, but if you need to respect some constraints such as building a religious blog theme based on WordPress or a Christian osCommerce template, or a Zen Cart template, etc, then things will be a bit more difficult because you will have some particular structures that you need to include and respect, like for ex blog posts, archives, you need to include tags for best offers, etc.
These days more and more people use predefined CMS engines such as WordPress so Christian WordPress themes are very demanded these days and designing them is not easy to to. What you can do to start working on one is to take the default theme WordPress comes with and start adapting it.
I guess that no matter in what domain of activity you work on, you know that is always easier to adapt somebody’s work than to start it yourself from scratch. The same with Christian WordPress themes here…
Christian announcements were invaded by spam
One of the areas that I really like on this site is the Christian announcements area, because it is interractive, people get to submit their announcements, it is that easy. But at one moment I had to close that area down due to high number of spams, meaning fake announcements with adult content.
So I closed it at that moment, but I always felt sorry for this since I really loved that part. A few days ago I reopened it, without enhancing it in any waym hoping that the submit form was forgotten by spammers. Well, not quite since I have started to receive spam announcements again. That is something I don’t like…
I think I will spend some time to add a captcha there so people be forced to answer a question or something similar, in order to not send spam comments.
Back to website design and to my Christian website
It’s been a while since I haven’t writen anything on this blog, since I was busy for a period and in holiday for another period, when, despite the fact that I had more free time, I spent it everywhere else but in front of my computer.
Now I am back to blogging about website design and open source web templates, about what means to design a Christian website and how to promote such a website. You know, after a long period of time spent away from your websites sometimes you don’t know where to start your work when you get back to your computer. What should you do first? What should you start writing about?
Personally I have a few projects in my mind that I would like to start and a few more that I try to finish. I wish I only had enough time on my hands to do this.
One of the next projects that I would like to start is a website dedicated to premium WordPress themes only. It is one of my goals since a long time but I never manage to put it online. I hope to find the time for it.
I will keep you posted!
