Some more detailed FAQs. You don’t need to know all this stuff to blog. This will not be on the exam.

What’s with this theme/layout/stylesheet? Can I change it?

I designed it, and it will change over time as I tweak and test on different machines and under different conditions. It’s the same one as on flurf.net and poetrysoftware.com.au, although I plan to separate out the style (banner graphics and colours) from the substance to make it more distinctive.

For the moment I’m putting everyone on the same stylesheet just to maintain consistency across the whole site. The default themes are, in my near-infinitely arrogant opinion, pig ugly and in need of killing, so I’d rather not see them used here. If you find a WordPress theme you really love, I’ll install it for you, but not immediately; part of why I’ve installed this one site-wide is to give it a good thorough test, and if everyone goes over to a different theme I’ll get less value out of that.

The banner graphics will be changeable, by the way. If you’re happy to stay with the general structure but want a different graphic, point it out to me and I’ll install it for you. That should be a little easier to arrange once I’ve tidied up some loose ends.
