Testing out the work so far
One key aspect of writing a new theme is testing it, and that’s what I’ve been doing over the last month or so by rolling SevaTeem out to various blogs.
I started off with a very plain-vanilla version over at Personally Chosen. Actually, it’s so plain that I’ve not yet seen a Wordpress theme released with anything like that particular look. Whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing, I don’t know.
Somewhat closer to the original idea is that over at Our Inns. By this time, I was getting quite adventurous and tried out a dark background on A Time of Magic. As it turns out, that has highlighted one particular feature that I’d like to add to SevaTeem which is the ability to select the colour of the text as an option in the theme rather than requiring edits to the style sheet.
One thing that these show is that the theme is workable as-is. There are some quirks that need to be ironed out but it’s good enough for me to actually use at the moment.
Anyway, all being well, I’ll be adding a few more features to SevaTeem over the weekend.
