Briam asked on the forum for the blog software that runs MikePadgett.com about template styles.

I had written a brief article before MikePadgett.com was so kindly hacked about the work I’d done on templates.

In common with most blog software, the idea is to separate content from presentation, so it’s just a matter of writing decent CSS.

Here are the two previous ‘skins’ that have graced these pages:

Japon style

Japon – the first blog style I used in 2005

Woollen style

Woollen – a Norwegian sweater to keep the blog warm for winter

If anyone would like some help with their templates, let me know.

Hello you, I'm Mike Padgett. I'm not a Princeton curator, Knoxville mayoral candidate, Kentuckian pastor or Arizona journalist, I just share the same name. In fact, I am a consultant working in user experience and information design.

I also enjoy travel, concerts, films and walking.

I'm originally from Yorkshire, England but nowadays I live in Belgium. My current favourite Belgian beer is Black Albert.

Shameless self-promotion

Dopeology.org

Over a year in the making, Dopeology.org is my latest personal project: a topology of doping in thirty years of European pro road cycling.

I collected information from thousands of sources, then I modelled and published it via a lightweight user interface.
