Standing on the shoulders of giants is something that it is impossible not to do in the Software industry. There are many giants on whose shoulders I am very much aware of standing. Rumbaugh, Booch & Jacobson; the Gang-of-Four, Richard Stallman, Linus Torvalds, Kent Beck and Martin Fowler are all names that spring easily to my mind.
However the individuals that I’m posting about, whilst maybe not quite giants are certainly taller than me in their respective sphere and standing on their shoulders has improved my view! I’m actually talking about the rather pedestrian (to some!) matter of the look-and-feel of my blog, or more specifically, my WordPress theme.
So who’s shoulders am I actually talking about. Well firstly David Herreman who is responsible for the clean and beautiful graphic design and equally clean css work that I used for my theme. I loved his dkblog css template and bookmarked it as soon as I saw it. Secondly, Bob whose big-blue-01 WordPress theme I used as a skeleton over which to stretch David’s stylesheet (I’m no PHP wizard!). You’re looking at the result, unless I’ve changed theme since! Thanks guys…
