I found this Discovery theme on www.freecsstemplates.org and I thought it would make a great BlogEngine theme. I think I am going to take a break from BlogEngine themes for a while (not too long ;-). I am really not a designer and I fear that I just don't have the patience to monkey around in CSS for a few hours just to find out my work only looks good in IE and not in FireFox.
I have decided to put this theme out and then customize it for my blog. Here are some interesting notes about this theme:
- I thought it was too narrow so I widened it. To do so I needed to make the Cheetah picture longer. My Photoshop skillz are definitely lacking. I recommend you replace that picture with one of your own.
- The menu was originally styled incorrectly when viewed in FireFox so I noodled with the CSS until it worked. In doing so I learned two really interesting things about the IE Developer Toolbar witch I will share in a subsequent post.
You can download the theme here.
As always, if you have any problems, questions, or kudos, pass them along.

My friends Jason and Jesse and I are having a blast converting different themes for BlogEngine.Net. I think it would be fun to write some extensions as well. I took the original version of this theme from www.styleshout.com. This is my first pass at this so I expect there to be some issues. If you have any problems or questions about this theme please let me know. You can download it here.
I am always browsing through the various free CSS templates out there and I have a whole list of themes I want to convert as time and patience allows. I am particularly impressed with Jason's 'StarGazer' theme.
