Well, today is practically over. Has been a busy day, but one of the major projects was to develop the theme from hand drawings on a piece of paper to working theme.
It is close. A few tweaks and some color changes, but overall this makes me smile. Had to learn a bit more of CSS, or relearn, I want to thank John Brooks for all his help.
Long term the image (currently Tyler) will be dynamic or random or something. Also all the blocks are the same text and some will be lists, others articles, and such. Some static, some dynamic.
Not sure about what color to use at the very top and bottom. Also might make the white section in the logo/header and between the footer and the content to start to change to transparent a little farther to the right.
I would also like to know how this looks on a larger screen, so if you have a huge resolution, please let me know where I can get better serve you too.
