It seems I’m still trying to find a theme that fits my blogging style and mood. Today, I think I may have found it, after a little bit of modification this one just might stick. The theme being used is ChaoticSoul by Bryan Veloso and the basic installation does not fulfill my SEO needs, so bring out the tools.

I’ll briefly highlight some of the minor changes I’ve made thus far. First and foremost I need to have my blogs name at the top and NOT ChaoticSoul. Afterward, it’s important to me to have some distinction between my theme and the thousands of others being used in standard form. I’ve compiled a few images that embody everything I’m about on the net and used them as my left/right images in the header, I think the end product is nice.

Search engines give my blog intermittent love and usually sends visitors to a single page, possibly months back in the archives. This is great, however with that single_post template they have no idea what my blog is about. By installaing FuzzyPosts and placing a latest_posts.php in my singlepage template visitors can now see my last 10 posts in the sidebar.

What bothers me is that this theme does not include a blogroll standard, it must be added to your sidebar. You can get your blog roll up and running again by placing the code ?php get_links_list(); ?> anywhere in the ChaoticSoul sidebar where you want your links to show up.

For now, that’s about as far as I’ve made it, although I’m far from being finished. Throughout the day I’ll be modifying my AdsenseDeluxe so that my ads blend with the template. Hope others enjoy this template as much as I do.
