Faithful Kubrick, I Know Him Well

I was using WordPress to set up a fast website for a cause dear to my heart and yet have no working budget.

I really wanted to commission some graphics but had no budget established and didn’t want to leave anyone hanging without being paid or me responsible for funds I couldn’t produce.

Know the feeling?

I decided to install WordPress on the site just to get something going. So when I installed WordPress I got the “plain vanilla” pre-installed Kubrick theme that produces a blog with an ugly blue header begging to be replaced with graphics and another theme.

Yuck! Whenever I see one of them my first impression is … “Low Budget”!

What do you do if you HAVE to make do and don’t want to have people dismiss your blog because of it’s humble theme?

Well, if the people you’re making the website for are, in my instance, people with a cultural heritage represented by a tri-color flag you can adapt Kubrick to make something that almost looks presentable.

At least until you can upgrade the site.

You just change the top half of the header image to one color of the flag, the bottom to the other header, and the lettering to the third color. In this case red - white - green.

It makes it downright look like you PLANNED to use this simple theme! Until you can upgrade that is.

The title of this post was supposed to the Shakespearean phrase from Hamlet which I was misquoting in my mind as: “Alas, Poor Yorick! I knew him well!”
