Souvlaki For The Soul

Ok. I can hear the cries and screams of protest (I think I can!). I want to welcome you to the new look for my blog and website. It’s the fourth time I’ve changed themes or templates this year. Blogging was a new activity that I undertook at the beginning of this year. Well, who knew that my inner geek was going to come rushing out! Apart from writing and photographing about my passion, which is food, I also have a passion for web design. I wanted a site to represent my foodie passion. And I specifically wanted it to look good. So after 3 previous attempts at html, css and Photoshop I bit the bullet and had it professionally designed.

My blogging platform of choice is Rapidweaver. It’s a made for Mac product that specialises in producing cool and good looking websites. All made on an Apple of course! For all you Macheads and fanboys this is a must see. I contacted one of the 3rd party theme designers and he came up with this great design. Florian over at ADHD Graphics is a very talented young individual with a great passion for designing websites. And he’s done a great job here at SOUVLAKI FOR THE SOUL.

Notice the cool spotlights on top of the page. Similar to the downlights you find in kitchens. In fact, the website/blog has a feel of a warm wooden kitchen environment. Where I hope to conjure up a whole lot of epicurean creations. Just a warning. This site plays well in most browsers. However, you won’t get the full benefit of it if you are using Internet Explorer 6. It’ll show up but you won’t see any of the cool Web 2.0 effects.

Ok. Let’s get on with the show. I have a whole heap of posts that need updating. Now that I have my new look completed I can start to ramble on about food!
