I hope you like the new theme to my site! I have been working on it for a long time now, and I have been really making good use of the WordPress features. The new and improved sidebar, with thanks to Melissa’s tutorial, now changes according to whatever page of the site you are on. This is one feature about my new theme that I really love, so I hope it is of good use to you.
I also have rollovers for the site navigation. They are only simple rollovers, but I will hope to do more interesting ones in the future. I just wanted to start off simply so that the tutorial on how to make the rollovers was easy to understand, as it isn’t completely simple at first.
I have also made the post categories more generic and for more specific topics I have created tags for each blog post. The Archives page is now improved. This is the page where you can view all posts by month, category or tag.
A Gravatar will now show up next to each comment. If you don’t have one, then the default one I have made will appear instead. There are also clickable smilies with the comment form that you can insert into your form. The pink similes are made by me 
I have also got a new Guestbook which is powered by BellaBook and my ask and answer page should look better in Internet Explorer as I fixed the coding. That leads me onto say that parts of my theme don’t look as good in Internet Explorer as browsers like FireFox and Flock, but I coded the theme as much as I could to get it looking OK. But if there is anything on my site that is not showing up properly, feel free to contact me and I will try to sort it out.
I think that’s mostly everything, but also I have made some new tutorials and I am still currently making some brand new web icons in replacement to the old icons which I will try to put up soon.
That’s everything about my site, so I will update on what I have been doing over the past week. Well, I have finished school after my exams now, so I am on a really long school holiday 
Last week I had an induction day at college, which was alright apart from getting lost when going to most of the classrooms (but the teachers helped me find the way so that was fine in the end :D) and I now have a piece of homework to do which is really annoying 
But I am have already started it and so I will try and finish it by the end of this week.
My dance show is this Friday and Saturday evening. I am really looking forward to it So I probably won’t be blogging or updating after this post until next week some time.
I think I should stop typing now 
I hope you like the new theme!
Only a few to go

Edit 19.06.08: My last exam is tomorrow morning, so I should be putting up the new theme very soon! I can’t post a new blog because I need to go and revise now, but I will hopefully blog tomorrow after my exam!
I only have seven more exams left now, so I am so excited! After they have finished I won’t have any more revision for around 12 weeks! I am in the process of making a new layout in between revising, so when my exams are finished I will be uploading my new theme. You can also look forward to new tutorials and downloads that I am making. But most of those will be made when my exams are actually finished, so the new theme won’t be put up straight away. I just can’t wait for all those weeks of free time instead of boring school time! However, I do still miss the fact of going to the school I went to, because I got so used to it. I do still turn up there for exams, but it’s not the same. But I should be positive, so I must look forward to college!
I have realised that my blog posts seem to be quite boring as I seem to just keep talking about my daily routine and site updates rather than my thoughts and opinions. So you can also look forward to new articles and more interesting blog posts on what I believe about different topics. But don’t worry, if I have any site updates I will still post about them, because I obviously want you to know about them! =P I just won’t go on and on about daily routines in the week.
I am also excited for my next dance show which is coming up in a few weeks! I will probably write a blog post when that’s finished about how it all went. However, it is a few weeks after my exams finish, so my site might be closed at that time due to me putting the new theme up. Don’t worry though, it will only be closed while I am changing over my website theme, I will open it again straight after!
OK, I think I should go now before I start making this post boring, so to everyone who is doing exams at the moment, I hope you all do very well and I will probably blog some time in the next week or so!
