Driving Spirit has been treated to a thorough wash’n’wax ready for the harsh winter weather.

Due to a few annoying niggles with the previous theme I’ve decided to swap to one of the excellent choice available from Elegant Themes. The advantages of the new theme are a more interesting home page, with more featured articles in a nice sliding control, as well as bigger thumbnails for the recent articles. There’s also a nice set of bookmarking buttons on each post, just click on the share this section to save a post or share it with friends through a number of social bookmarking sites.

There may be a few teething problems in older posts, but I’ll be addressing those as I find them. If you find aything glaringly obvious then by all means contact me and point it out.

If you’re a blogger yourself and you use WordPress then you should have a look at Elegant Themes. It’s run by Nick Roach, who’s very helpful, there’s a great selection to choose from, and you can download as many themes as you want for the tiny sum of $19.99 a year. Considering I spent five times that much on the old theme this is definitely a bargain.
