From the How I Spent My Thanksgiving Break department comes a new blog design. The new look went live yesterday, though I still have a few tweaks to make here and there.
I’ve used the Thesis theme for a few different sites, but this is the most extensive reworking of it that I have done. I set out to do a full theme, but I like the look of how Thesis handles the main content, so I ended up morphing the project into a new wrapper for Thesis.
The header image has a composite of two images — one is a skyline of Austin, and the other is a picture of the Areopagus. The Areopagus is connected to the name of this blog. Somehow, I hope both of those images can serve as a reminder that this blog is my own meandering through the connections between the culture of Austin and God’s work within it.

i like it.
What would be required to get this template for one of my blogs?

Excellent use of Thesis if you ask me.
(Which I’m sure you would have if you had the chance.)
Brent,
Is this an excellent use of Thesis? Was just curious what your opinion might be.
Thanks for the kind words. It’s a few weeks old and I’m not tired of looking at it…that’s a good sign.
