Hey! Some of you guys may have noticed that Patchwork has a yummy new theme.
Mike (Of Maikeron.com and the man behind Webcomic & Inkblot) has created this new theme for the Wordpress Theme directory (which should be submitted shortly.)
I think it looks rather dapper and I love the cupcake wrapper header and footer. Now all I need is to draw a new image for the header. 
Maybe I’ll update more now that I actually like the theme. XD
Otherwise titled “Patchwork Lovin’”
I finally got sick of looking at the old broken layout I created. So I yanked out the classic theme and started modifying that instead of working from scratch like last time. I like to think the results are much better.
Still calling the layout the same thing though; v1.0 Strawberry was a work in progress anyway. And so is this one.
Enough of that. *stretch* Layout’s not broken anymore. All that matters.
Ha ha! I finally made my own Wordpress theme. Hurrah and cheers!
This tutorial was a great help. I couldn’t have made this without that; or Mike’s nagging. Nagging is an amazing motivator. You want to get everything done so they’ll shut up. >.> 1
But anyway. The current layout is an homage to Death Note. If you’ve read DN, you’ve probably guess that by now since L is sitting on the top of the page. At first, the entire homage was just going to be a Strawberry theme; then I started the header image and L just popped off my tablet pen. So now it’s a fanart!homage…I like it. But not nearly as much as the little Strawberrys that I’m using at bullet points. So, I’ve got the adorable L on the top of my page, and his favorite fruit as bullets. Hurrah!! Now go read Death Note.
The true irony of this layout is I don’t even like L that much. Well, I like him, he’s just very far down on my list of favorite characters in order which goes something like: Rem, Ryuk, Light, Misa, Matsuda, Mikami, L….etc. You’d think one of them would get a theme first. XD
Anyway, the layout is constantly being tweaked since it’s my first one; so if you see anything particularly horrible let me know in a comment on this post. Thanks!
EDIT:
You can thank Mike for the awesome Rollover Header. 
He taught me the CSS to do it, plus he was the one that requested that second image…and now Light is in the layout. Ha ha. But yes, isn’t it cool? *_*
