After having the previous template up for over a couple of months, numerous tweaks later, I decided that it was again time for a different look for this site. Something about the previous one just wasn't sitting right with me; couldn't put a finger on it, but I knew it had to be changed.

While cruising around the web a while back, I came across a site that was pretty much monochrome and I really liked the way it made the content jump off the page. Fired up Artisteer and a short time later, what you are seeing is the result.

I wonder how long this one will last?

That's the problem with Artisteer; one cannot leave well-enough alone. For those of you who do not know what Artisteer is, it is, in my opinion, and as we would say back in Bugtussle (aka Lethbridge), Alberta, slicker than snot on a doorknob. Want to whip up a new look for your Joomla! web site? No probs. A few minutes in Artisteer and there ya' go. And one of the coolest things about it is that you can then take that new Joomla! template and export it as a WordPress theme, a Drupal theme, a DotNetNuke skin, and ASP.NET theme or even an HTML template. All with a single mouse click for each.

One quick note on the current look and what's with the header background

No, I do not live in or near Great Falls, Montana, USA; I live in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. I do, however, have a tremendous memory and experience from my flying career in this fine city. This is where, at the ripe old age of barely 19, I made my very first instrument approach to minimums in actual instrument meteorological conditions; pouring rain. Broke out just above Decision Height. I will have a detailed post on the matter on or about the 35th anniversary of this event in October, 2009. Tune in for all the gory details. In conclusion, what you see as the header background is a snippet of the Low Altitude En-route Chart for the area and the colours of the template are similar to those on this type of chart. Only fitting.
