Just figured I’d chime in to let you know what the status is on the new design.  I’m currently working on a new design (well, modifying one that I picked up) and if things go well, it may be live within the next few weeks.  I have a few people lined up do help with the graphics.  Hopefully things will go well – it’s going to be a whole new look – new theme, new colors – a new beginning.  Some may like it, others may not.  All I can say is hopefully it’ll grow on you.

The best thing about doing all of this is it allows me to do a ton of work behind the scenes.  I tore up WordPress for the  past 2 years not using it the way I should have.  That’s going to change.  Pages are being organized and setup in order, categories already been split up by the game’s name, I’m actually using the ‘blogroll’ for affiliates rather than hardcode them, and of course, I’m using widgets for the sidebar/footer instead of coding them on their various pages.

Once the theme goes live – I’ll be going thru all pages structuring them better, getting the programs/patches back up to working order, and all of that good stuff!  So please be patient while I continue to work behind the scenes.  Standard updates may be slow for the next few weeks 🙂

    I hope the theme doesn’t include the color green.

    @E- Why not the colour green? It’s a colour symbolic of The Sims franchise.

      🙂 Have no fear, some are just placeholders/redirects 🙂

    Green just doesn’t attract me.

      You may be disappointed then. 🙁 But hopefully it’ll work out for you.

    Just to let everyone know, I’m working on the graphics for the new SimPrograms — I’ve got some nice things lined up for you all, including a rebranding of SimPrograms.

    Hopefully going to start tweaking some elements of the new theme later on, too.

    Just an update on the colour scheme, we’ve changed the greens to blues.
