Today, WooThemes — one of the best theme designers for WordPress out there, IMHO — released Anti-Social, a new theme that they say creates “more of an aggregation space for personal users / bloggers to create an overview of their online activities.” If you know me then you know I’m never satisfied with one look or design for long. I was using their Fresh Folio theme for a while, and I really liked it. In some ways it would still be better for my purposes (like the portfolio part), but I needed a change. Anti-Social is pretty slick, even if it’s a bit too clean.

Since I’ve been using WooThemes for a few months, I was pretty familiar with their set up. It was, as predicted, a breeze. I had it working and pretty customized in under thirty minutes. I’m still tweaking, but I like the way it looks. Great job, guys. The social links, calendar, and tags make this one of the coolest and freshest themes I’ve ever seen.

Couple of things I’d like to see: more flexibility in the tags widget, for one. Currently, it allows you to select the number of tags to display, but it takes them from the top — not very useful. If I could choose to display 50 out of my hundreds and it took the 50 most used — that would be useful. I’d really like to se a Twitter widget that displays my last couple of tweets. This theme cries for this feature. Maybe this is something I could port over myself. Finally, since I’m a photographer, I’d like to see the entry use the image I upload in addition to the blog front page. It seems an easy and overlooked feature. My entries look a bit austere without the photo I added.

Anyway, welcome to my new look. And, thanks again, Woo!
