As you can tell, I’ve redone the look of Self Help Daily. The old theme served me well, but it was a headache when it came to adding pictures.
When my husband pointed out this new theme (Cutline), by fellow-Kentuckian Chris Pearson - I knew I’d found my new theme. It’s so clean and neat, beautiful in its simplicity. It’s absolutely one of my favorite themes I’ve ever worked with – and, having built and customized over 50, I’m as familiar with themes as I am with coffee. This one’s a winner.
It was really easy to change the colors around and a snap to change the great banners Chris had used to our own. I love that he has coded the theme so that the banners change on different pages. Brilliant.
I used pictures that my daughter Stephany has taken – they’re all scenes from our state of Kentucky. A few are from the Land Between the Lakes, a few are from around Owensboro and one is of our fat cat, Adam. The one on the front page is a great pic she snapped of a rainbow stretched out over a cornfield. When we’re riding down the road and she says, “Can we pull over a sec?” I know she and her digital camera see something. (There was a Johnny Depp lookalike once, but I flat out refused….)
I have a feeling I’ll be using this theme on a few of my other blogs. I’m feelin’ nothing but love for it.

Hi!
I really appreciate the clean lines of this theme too — I’m currently using the sister theme “PressRow”.
I left you a longish comment on your 21 Sept. 06 post (The ABC’s of Blogging 2) but apparently it was flagged by the ’spam catcher’ or whatever it’s called. I hope you got it.
I just wanted to commend you on your wonderful site and mention how much I enjoyed reading “The ABC’s of Blogging 2 article” in particular.
Keep up the excellent work!
Hi, Ashleigh – what a beautiful way to spell your name. Lovin’ it.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for the kind words – you’re sweet.
I took off the Spam blocking plug in – because it did screwy things to the new theme….and I’ve had several people tell me that they had quotes that never made it through.
I learn so much from comments left, I’m really ticked that some didn’t make it!
So glad yours did, though – encouragement’s always a very welcome thing.
All my best,
Joi
