A new Kirby theme that’s specially designed for personal blogs and independent publishing
… is this a good idea?
I’ve had a suggestion from a reader, asking me to make this blog’s design available as a theme for Kirby CMS.
But, is my website ‘professional’ enough? … do I have the skills, or motivation, to publish it? … are my Markdown hacks too complicated? … would ‘indie’ bloggers be interested? … in a niche theme? … on a proprietary CMS like Kirby?
To explore this idea, I’ve drafted these experimental graphics below, using (only) my blog’s Markdown styling, a few quotations selected from around the site, and the brill. blog domain I registered eight(!) years ago…
I’d love to get your feedback on my blog’s design, and/or its viability as a Kirby theme for personal bloggers and ‘indie’ publishers. I’m still very undecided — so please let me know what you think…
Update, September 2024: After four years of tinkering, and only a handful of posts written — maybe I lack the skills and commitment needed for a ‘professional’, actively-maintained theme?
Whatever I decide to do, I’ll first need re-kindle my enthusiasm for blogging.
