Welcome to The Cloisters.net

This site is the jumping off point for all my sites...a portal if you will. I have several scattered throughout the 'net and wanted to get everything in one place for easy upkeep and because lately it seems I'm easily confused so this is just simpler. I'll be adding sites and things as I can so please bear with me. There's a lot going on in my life right now so I get to things when I can. I'm always willing to hear what people have to say, so for that purpose there is a handy little contact form up in the navigation bar to make it easy to have your say. Thanks! :D

Lunatic Fringe Theme

Posted By Mina on August 9, 2008

My second Wordpress theme and it’s a little bit more ambitious. It features 3 sidebars - two on the right and one in the main area under the posts, and author box along with the customized Archives, Sitemap and Author pages. There is also a section above the sidebars for info of any kind. It comes ready to show either your own custom text or author information, be sure to read the README file for instructions on how to use this box.

It’s been tested in Firefox, IE, Safari and Opera and is valid XHTML 1.0 and CSS 2.1.

Maiden Voyage Theme

Posted By Mina on August 1, 2008

This is my first attempt at creating a Wordpress theme from scratch (with the help of the WP Codex and the many tutorials that are out there). And so it is called, appropriately enough…Maiden Voyage.

It’s a simple 2 column affair with cheerful Springtime colors and is valid XHTML 1.0 and CSS 2.1. It’s widget ready with support for Gravatars and Related Posts built in. It also has customized Archives, Sitemap and Author pages. Tested in Firefox, Opera, Safari, IE6 and IE7.

Now on to finish my next one! :D
