I’m in the market because one of my clients needs a new one, but I decided to see if there was a way to tweak this one. The current template is called Weblogic from JoomlaShack, and while I was looking over the JS site, I realized that there were a number of ways I could tweak Weblogic to make it look – almost – new.

The easiest thing to do was to simply change the font-family style element from Georgian/serif to a san-serif. That has made a tremendous difference. Let that be a lesson to you; a simple font change can make your whole site look completely different.

There are still some font elements I don’t like, but I gotta search out the code to find where the CSS for that particular code is hiding. Always fun trying to crack someone else’s code.

Next, I need to work on getting/creating some new graphics for the site. With my new HP Pavilion Elite, crunching graphics is a breeze. So, stay tuned.

It may not be spring (look at the photos I just posted of the New Years Storm of 2010), but it is the New Year and change is in the air.
