I did it. I started over from scratch using the notes at Themes Wiki and also using the Wordpress Codex to create a new theme for my blog from scratch. I’m also tweaking things on the fly in Firefox using the FireBug plugin to see what values work best. Firebug is really cool.

So I started with a simple theme WP-PortalTheme and then began changing it here and there.

Themes Wiki is a great place to learn how to create your own theme from scratch.

The navigation bar came from this awesome site:Sohtanaka.com: Horizontal-sub-nav-with-css-jquery/

I found that site by following the links form here:WebStockBox: 50-cool-css-menus-free-source-codes-tutorials/

In the end I may just give up and hire a designer, but while I’m tinkering with it its pretty fun.
