Me
I studied Fine Arts at what's now called ArtEZ Hogeschool voor de Kunsten in Kampen (now Zwolle), The Netherlands. They say an art study makes you an artist. Maybe they're right. I do paint and I design stuff. Does that make me an artist? Much of my inspiration comes from old punkrock flyers, worn paper and fabrics, broken stuff. I like my work to look unfinished, undesigned. Design by accident.
(...)I didn’t study graphic design. I left the design department after six months because the teachers (and students) there were too bound to rules in my opinion. Especially typography rules. As you may know a lot of Dutch designers and therefore design teachers are heavily influenced by the ‘less is more’ principle. Well, that’s not my cup of tea.

Websites
I create and code websites using web standards. What else should I say? They do what they have to do. I hope...

Star Power
Another home made theme
Not much to say about this one. I like it :) Originally designed for a client as a WP MU theme but they decided not to use it. I asked their permission to publish it myself and they agreed. Yay!
I included the PSD files for the header and the divider. This theme is ready to use the lifestreamwidget.
Update: Starpower updated to version 2.0. A lot of changes in the css.
- The theme is now fully compliant with W3C standards
- Lots of changes in the css file
- The files _sub_entry_header.html, sub_entry_sidebar.html and _sub_page_sidebar.html are no longer used
Use with PivotX Beta12j or higher.

Toen ik aan het zoeken was naar templates die geschikt zijn voor PivotX 2.0, kwam ik op jouw pagina terecht. Allereerst; er staan mooie ontwerpen tussen, vandaar dat ik besloot bovenstaande template te downloaden. Ik heb zowel de MACOSX als starpower_10-map geupload, maar het resultaat is tot nu toe een kale lege pagina. Heb jij enig idee wat ik fout doe?
Alvast bedankt voor de eventuele support!
For foreign readers: My themes are zipped on a Mac which adds some useless files to the zip file.
* Expand your zip file
* Search for a folder named 'starpower'
* Upload the 'starpower' folder to your themes directory
In zowel IE als Firefox staat de lijst met categorieen naast de zoekbalk i.p.v. eronder.
Heb je enige idee hoe ik dat op kan lossen?
Goed werk met al je themes! Ik zal mensen zeker over je kunsten inlichten!

Nog beter: gebruik ipv de spamquiz Hashcash. Dan val je je bezoekers niet lastig met een extraveld maar heb je geen last van spamcomments.
De spamquiz staat hier aan omdat ik te lui ben om een bugje op te lossen (binnenkort toch een nieuwe website)
Mooi thema ik alleen de layout met de bijgeleverde psd files aangepast.
Ik heb hetzelfde probleem met de side bar.
Ik wil het zoekvenstertje, de archieven en links, mooi onder elkaar hebben.
Hoe ga ik dit oplossen?
