I've been playing with BlogEngine.net, an excellent (and free) open source blogging system today and wanted to give it a 'custom' paint job. Unless you are very heavy into it, CSS is a major pain and getting it right across all browsers is a real waste of time in my opinion. I could have gone for a basic 'tables everywhere' approach but why bother when so many people have spent years working on super duper flexible CSS layouts?
So I found an inspiring open source CSS design and what you are seeing now is the result, I've taken their original CSS and blended it with the BlogEngine standard template to create LiquidNautica. The panorama you see at the top is a view from above Caerfi Beach near St. Davids in Wales. I'll include the beach scene when I submit the theme to BlogEngine.net but I won't be including any others as I'd like to keep some back for my site only (you can see the others when you go to the contact or about me pages).
Special thanks to Aran Down, Creative Director of Studio 7 Designs Inc. who did the original LiquidNautica design and gave me permission to modify their template and post it up to BlogEngine.net too.
