I’m not new to blogging but I am to WordPress. And I really like blog themes that are 3 columns. As I was looking at the WP template options available, this one – Anaconda – really stood out as one I liked.

My first blog on diary-x.com before it went dark used a theme from Eris Free called Light Industrial My next [and previous] blog has the same format, but the custom template made labels [why couldn't they call them r4 Categories?] difficult to configure. That is one of the reasons I decided to switch to WordPress. More on that process in another post.

Now that I’ve got it up and running, I decided to take a look at what other people are doing with their themes [I still want to call them call them templates] to see how I can make mine look and work better.

So here is a Google search of some people using the Anaconda theme. If I skin or switch themes, I will write a similar post about that one too.

These appear in order of ranking – first seen, first posted – although it is not always the home page that is listed in Google’s results.

I’ll absolutely share whatever knowledge I can through my site… and in an upcoming book. The Anaconda is a great theme… I’ve not run into any issues that I’ve not been able to work through. I’ve made a lot of changes to the theme as well – r4 both aesthetically and for additional plugin integration.

BTW: I actually went to High School at St. Patrick’s in downtown Vancouver and I lived in Port Coquitlam for 6 years. I go back to B.C. every few years to visit high school friends of mine. It’s one of the greatest cities on Earth!
