Here's where this idea will die because no one will do any work BUT HEY who knows, maybe someone will step up to the plate:
If you guys want to make the blog look nice, make some CSS for it. The Wordpress theme we are using is called
Sandbox. I picked it because it is extremely skinnable using only CSS. Go to the
blog and view the HTML source. You'll see tons of nice id's and classes in the tags, great for CSS. And up top is a <link rel="stylesheet"... tag referring to the style.css file. You'll see all the default values and, at the very bottom, all the stuff I added to make it look Gang Garrison-ey. Tools like Firebug (
Firefox and
Chrome versions) can be used to edit the CSS on the fly in-browser and see what happens. And of course, you can save the blog and the style.css file to your computer and edit in your favorite text editor all you want.
