The first thing I chose to work on after relieving me from my self inflicted social exile, was a flash badge for Kiva lenders. I had other projects in mind, some which I had started designing and even implementing (although far too prematurely), but none of those kept my interest as much as it was kept while working on a simple Flash Badge for Kiva. Now mind you; there is nothing special about this little tool as there are other similar (if not exactly the same) out there already in existence. But somehow this little supposedly insignificant project was able to hold my attention far greater than so many of my other ideas, which at some point in my mind lived in a far greater esteem than they do now.
Anyways.
Presenting the Kiva badge… a little tool to help you advertise your loans on your website.

Hello there! I wonder if u could please help me? I new to the internet and have just established my personal new website, but i dont know how to do the rest of the design and and all that stuff. I heard that wordpress is good for this and you can just download themes for the design part. I very much like your theme and was inquiring if you could let me know where you found your theme, or if it is a custom one? Do also perhaps know of any other sites to get good themes? Thank you for the help!
Hi Shenna, sorry for the late reply.
Yeah, wordpress is a great site management system. It makes the whole process of adding content and pages easier than traditional methods of developing websites.
The theme I am using is called Oulipo by Mignolo
You basically have to spend some time searching for a theme you like and feel fits well with the type of site you have in mind.
I would start with this site: http://www.bestwpthemes.com/
I came across that site by searching on google for “best wordpress themes”
There are countless sites out there dedicated to wordpress themes and theme development.
Another good theme I have worked in the past with is called : Atahualpa. That theme is highly configurable without much knowledge of html/css and the like.
Another really popular theme is called Brandford Magazine .
Basically spend some time just browsing a lot of themes available and start bookmarking them. Soon you will get a feel for what your site needs.
Good luck.
