New Theme At Heck Of A Guy

Previous Heck Of A Guy Theme

In case you’re new to Heck Of A Guy or you’re a returning viewer with a rapidly deteriorating visual memory that can no longer retain an image  overnight, this blog, until an hour or two ago was clad in a theme called “Soft White” that looked something exactly like the above graphic.

Now, the Heck Of A Guy blog has, for the first time in its 2.5 year history, popped for new school clothes.  The new duds are in the form of a theme called “Cutline 3-Column Split,” which you see before you now.

Changing Themes

While Soft White and I have split up, the relationship was fruitful, and the breakup was one of those “It’s not you, it’s me: sort of things. In fact, the look  of the Soft White theme was a good fit for those long Heck Of A Guy posts. Cutline seems to me to be a bit distracting.

The change was occasioned by the need for a beefed up and updated infrastructure.

Because I had no clue about how blogs operated when I began, the Heck Of A Guy software code was revised, jury-rigged, re-revised, and all but rendered inoperable by too many homemade fixes.

Cutline is, in comparison, squeaky clean and is capable of operating all manner of gizmos, gadgets, and whizbangs so you have that to gleefully anticipate.

Another advantage to using Cutline is that I’m familiar with it. Cutline is the theme for two other blogs I manage: LeonardCohenSearch and EnrichMap.

Still, I suspect Cutline is an interim theme that will be replaced when a more content-congruent format is found.

Imperfection

There is a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in

- From Anthem by Leonard Cohen

If Leonard was right, then this is going to be one well lit blog for a while.

While I have already made a number of edits and the major functions seem to  working, there are no doubt a bundle of flaws that haven’t become apparent yet. Email me if problems arise. I hope to have things calmed down in the next week or so.
