Since 2009 is nearly upon us, I thought I'd take this opportunity to arrive at a new theme design for the site. 2009 seems to be all about change so I feel the need to join in the positive change. The theme will hopefully be one that would make for easier updates and upgrades and improve the site performance overall. Of course, it should also be aesthetically pleasing. For those interested, the existing design has been kicking around since Creative Toolbox was created. It's a somewhat customized version of the WordPress theme K2. To its credit, K2 is a great theme and really much more than just a presentation theme. It's really a mod to WordPress. But regrettably, all these modifications come at a price of making the site feel much slower to me than other WP sites and makes it rather difficult to keep up with WordPress upgrades as they come down the pike.
