I will take a look at what you have started there and see what I can do.

This is what the site used to look like for me. I don't recall changing the settings (though I may have done so) so I am under the impression that this was the default theme: The concept of themes means that nothing at all would have to change for you. But a lower-contrast color scheme...

The "Pro Blue" style still features high-contrast black text on a bright white background for posts. It is not at all similar to the old Red & Tan styling IMO. The old look & feel was much easier on my eyes. No one has communicated with me regarding the theming... though I'm still willing to help

I prefer darker and warmer colors and the old site really did look great also, I am a UI professional and would be willing to help put something together if there is a need

Recently I have been using a particular ukulele strap with leather ends, and it makes a squeaking sound while I am playing as the leather makes friction with the wood of my ukulele. The sound is amplified by the instrument's resonant chamber and I find it sufficiently distracting that I decided...

Heads up to anyone who enjoyed Daniel Ward's Arpeggio Meditations for Ukulele: I got an email message today indicating there is a new edition coming out! Melodic Meditations for Ukulele! Anyway, I'm pretty stoked. I'm definitely picking up a copy. :drool:

This is going to be an odd and embarrassing question, but I recently noticed that there was a fair bit of me accumulating inside of my new ebony-bodied ukulele. Mostly I think it is bits of dandruff from my beard (eww gross, I know.) Peering in through the sound hole I can clearly see the dark...

Howdy ukers -- does anybody regularly use a hygrometer in their instrument cases? I have been doing a little thinking and shopping around online and I was wondering if anyone has advice on how to effectively measure humidity inside a ukulele case. I managed to survive last winter with all...

After only one dry season of soundhole humidifiers, I really wish I could just leave my ukes out on stands around the house. So I recently began researching home humidifiers. It seems that if you live in a normal-sized house, you can get a home humidification system installed for less than...

I don't know what song it is, but I know Kalei writes his own music. I'd wager it is a Gamiao original.

Three ukuleles I have purchased within the last 4 months have developed buzzing on certain strings/frets up at the nut end of the neck. All three are high quality instruments, 2 of them luthier built. None of them had any noticeable buzzes when I first obtained them. These are wonderful...

The birds have won it all! 30 years an Eagles fan and we finally did it! If I had a webcam I'd be posting my uke rendition of the fight song! Woooo!

Hey Deb! I grew up just outside of Dalton, PA(which is where I am assuming you are from based on your username.) Don't know anything about local uke groups, unfortunately. Small world though!

With that 1-4-5-4 progression you must be looking for "Good Lovin'" by The Rascals.

Maybe this is a slightly strange topic, but I find myself doing this regularly and I find it ever so enjoyable. Every time I take a ukulele out of its case the first thing I do is take a nice full inhale while sniffing the soundhole and appreciate the wonderfully woody aromas inside. Sometimes...
