Easy Way to Customise Look of WordPress Blog
April 10th, 2009
I started this blog about six months ago with no knowledge of WordPress whatsoever. I had managed to import the header image from my website and change a few colours in the default WordPress theme to make the blog look slightly similar to my website. I wasn’t very happy with the way it looked, but it worked.
If you are not a techie web developer/programmer, it can be quite difficult to modify existing WordPress themes and end up with a nice blog design just the way you want it.
Today, I found a solution. I’m sure there are other applications available that can do this, but I happened to stumble upon Artisteer - theme generator for WordPress, Joomla and Drupal.
After downloading the trial version and playing around with it for just 10 minutes, I had decided to buy it.

Blog about Coffs Harbour activities and attractions
March 31st, 2009
I live in Coffs Harbour on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales in Australia and I love it here. I have been writing content, stories and editorials for Coffs Coast Marketing for several years now, helping to promote the Coffs Coast region – which is what the area around Coffs Harbour is called – to tourists and visitors.
But there are many things that are so lovely here that I just feel like sharing with more people. Not just visitors, but also people who have lived here a long time, or who have just moved here.
That’s why in January, I decided to start a blog about Coffs Harbour activities and fun things to do here, written mostly from personal experience and featuring my own photos. The URL of the website is www.thingstodoincoffsharbour.com.au

They’re all related to my diverse profession as a copywriter, website consultant, search engine optimiser, content specialist, public relations consultant and freelance journalist.

Finally found a moment to modify my Blog header
November 23rd, 2008
It’s been a while since I had a chance to work on my own website or blog, but I’ve finally taken an hour and a half this afternoon (it’s a Sunday) to read up on theme modifications and change the heading of my blog.
I’ve only really changed the background image of the top banner so far, but I plan to make some more changes soon, now that I know how it all works.
When I’ve got it looking close to how I want it to look, I’ll put a link in the top nav bar on my Content Writer website to go straight to this blog. And I’ll write a post a bit more often…!
