Last week while I was at WebManiacs I decided I wanted to go with a different theme for my blog.  The GlossyBlue one was nice, but a lot of people are using it and I wanted to be a bit more unique.  I searched around and found a couple free WordPress themes and decided to port one over.  I must say skinning Mango is not as easy as I would like, but it isnt rocket science either.  I created a new skin in about 3 days, working via the plane, hotel room at night and this morning. I am not a CSS wizard so it could probably be done a lot faster if I had some more skillz.  I plan on skinning a couple more themes, which I will share.  This one however "BlueMoon" wont be shared until I decide to switch to a different one (sorry).

Laura did a pretty good job with the MangoBlog engine, it really has a lot of potential.  My only fuss is the docs need some love, I learned a lot about the MangoBlog engine by skinning my own.  There is still a lot I don't fully understand, in time hopefully I will. The Mate Docs (Flex Framework by AsFusion) are put together really well, maybe Mango Docs will aspire to them ;)

Oh quick note,  Mark Aplet also skinned a really nice theme.  He has the CSS talent I lack :)  Nice job Mark, you can download his skin here.

Today internet marketing is so much more exciting with all the advertising giants entering the game. This is not about web design courses or simple web site hosting anymore. This is not about picking the domain names only either.
