Hi Bobby,

I was out of town for last few weeks. I also did the same thing while designing a blogger theme, but my attempt was a failure. Hopefully, some day I’ll make a stunning blogger theme. Your copy will be free

In November, I am launching a new blog.

People that are creative use a lot of psychic energy. This can be very draining.

However, persistence always pays off but we need breaks to survive.

I see a great amount of creativity and thoughtful commentary in this blog so all the breaks are warranted.

Enjoy your time off.

Revellian,

No wonder you’re burned out trying to write your own WordPress theme. But I wouldn’t call that blogging burnout. You’re just too tired from the programming to write.

The biggest problem I have with my posts five days per week is finding good key words related to my site that I know enough to write about. Of course, I’m no opposed to researching. It just takes more time.

I just finished two posts that I got ideas for from off-line publications. If you’re totally out of ideas, you may want to try it.

Never good to let your work habits run on auto-pilot. Take time to see those friends and just breath. You can’t be in front of a computer all of the time. Parish the thought, I know!

We all burn out sometimes take a break and relax go on a vacation and give your brain a rest. When you come back things will be the same and you can pick up where you left off

!! I left a comment here the other day and it didn’t appear!!

Huggies Bobby! You must rest. Take some time out to make a new dish or practise martial arts ya? Or or play the guitar… write a new song.

Rest well see you soon!

I hope you’re feeling refreshed Bobby as I’m a new visitor to your blog and am looking forward to seeing more of your writing in the future.

@Michelle: I have a lot of personal problems going on right now that are taking their toll. A break is a necessity!

@Madhur: A basic template isn’t that difficult, but truly understanding everything is a different story. I have to know everything…I think it’s a birth defect sometimes.

@Gypsy: I have stepped away, at least temporarily. Maybe I’ll write something disturbing just for fun!

@Mark: I gave myself electroshock therapy, maybe it will help…haha!

@Billy: My brains were already fried before I started blogging!!!

@Parrot: Thanks for the Digg!

@Ettarose: I’m just burned out on looking at a computer altogether…at least for right now. I’ll be back soon!

@Richard: Thanks, I’ll check it out. I’m still going through different tutorials. Any theme I develop will be written from scratch. I think most themes out there are not written from scratch, even the premium themes people buy – it’s disappointing to know that.

@Marzie: Thanks so much! You brightened my day already!

@Dave: I’m really getting a grasp on xhtml now, which I thought was more difficult than css. I guess I’m hopelessly addicted to computers!
