Customized and Personalized Wordpress Blog Design

March 26th, 2009

This is a blog I designed and have been managing. The owner of the blog is very experienced as a teacher and story teller, but she has almost no experience with computers. She can add to, edit, and categorize her posts, but that’s about it. All of the design work, images, the plug-ins, the set ups, and the ads were done by me.

This blog was designed to showcase animals stories she has written for children, puppets she uses when telling stories, and fun facts about animals. These stories are also being recorded and available on podcast. That has been a new and fun experience for me to work with Audacity in order to put together music, sound effects, and the monologue for each story. If you have pre-school or elementary aged children, I would definitely recommend checking it out. I think they will enjoy these cute animal stories. If you do check it out, make sure to stay posted as more stories will continue to be added and recorded. Eventually, downladable coloring pages will also be available.

In designing this theme, I used real photos and edited them in Photoshop to give them the feel of a painting. These were very quick designs, and I plan on doing further edits on the images within posts, and of course, I’ll be adding more pics to some of the newer chapters which will be posted.

So, check out the Adventures of Sammy the Skunk!
