The layout in all the style schemes is of course based on the default layout, so the style scheme based on the above mentioned tutorial will not have the layout of the tutorial. It will have the layout of Saturday 658; but it will use the color scheme from the tutorial.

The other scheme will be a darker scheme using a black background with blue smoke applied from smoke brushes set 1 by Falln-Stock. I’m iffy about the darker scheme. Not sure what type of blog it would work with best. The tentative names of the style schemes are smokingblueblack and playmisty

Making this post to test the image cropper so excuse the gibberish. Is gibberish spelled with a G as in gibberish or a J as in jibberish? With a G it looks like it would be pronounced the way the G in God is pronounced, like Gibb as in Andy Gibb[erish]. Who’s Andy Gibb anyway? The name is familiar but not the person. Let’s go look up the spelling of gibberish jibberish and find out the answer to the question of who is Andy Gibb….

Well, it looks like gibberish is indeed spelled with a G, so maybe the problem is that I’ve been pronouncing it wrong? Or is it just one of those cases where the G has a J sound? As for Andy Gibb, he was a member of the Bee Gees. He died in 1988 five days after her turned 30. He died from myocarditis which according to wikipedia is “an inflammation of the heart muscle due to a recent viral infection”.

Don’t take life for granted folks….
