When I started to use WordPress, I intended to start with a basic theme or layout and modify it myself, but I’m afraid I don’t have the time to learn about CSS and so on, at least not at the moment. And with WordPress Themes and sites like WordPress ThemeViewer, Alex King: WordPress Theme Browser and WP Themes.info it’s easy to decide not to do the designing work yourself – but hard to pick a theme because there are so many great ones. For now, I chose one called Dark Maple by Moshu. After a long wonderful and perfect summer I’m getting to terms with the fact that autumn started two days ago.

Shout-out
Thanks for the warm welcome and for spreading the new link,
Incidentally, every single one of these weblogs is also powered by WordPress. Looks like it really is the new hotness.
Turning The Pages
The British Library made 14 great books available online for you to leaf through at Turning the Pages. Among them are sketches by Leonardo, the History of England by Jane Austen’s and the original Alice in Wonderland written and illustrated by Lewis Carrol. You can even have a narrator read the works to you. Shockwave plug-in required except for three books of which alternative versions are available.

This reminds me of two other sites where you can browse old books:
The Cornell University Library Windows on the Past consists of several collections on various topics, among them Historical Math Monographs, which I used to read a book one wasn’t allowed to check out of my university’s library when writing my first thesis.
The Online Newton Project of MIT’s Burndy Library includes several works by Newton, including the famous Principia Mathematica.
