After being introduced to the concept of responsive web theming, I took to it like a duck in water. I was pleased with the well documented contributed Drupal base theme, Omega based on the 960.gs grid. This amazing framework provides a plethora amount of configurable options, scalability and an overall sense of structure. I will not be covering any technical space-talk or how to configure Omega in this blog.

I've created my first Drupal theme, Techy for D6, and at this point I'm going to call it early Beta. Still, I thought now would be as good of time as any to release it to the general public. I've submitted it to D.O (Drupal.org) and applied for a CVS account, so here's hoping to see it live in the next few weeks. I really struggled with trying to get it better and better and better, but remembered most of the themes on Drupal.org are horrible anyway. I decided getting feedback would probably be better than me continually trying to refine it.
