Hell yes. My current blog theme from WordPress is totally skeuomorphic, almost embarrassingly so. This is a design term I recently learned about from this article about Apple’s devotion to (and internal debate about) the practice of using real world textures and design cues in digital products, where they serve little to no function.

So my current theme, with it’s fabric and leather overtones, and especially the faux stitching (complete with loose threads in the upper right hand corners) certainly qualifies as skeuomorphic.

But I don’t care! I still like it. What I wanted to convey with the theme was a sort of Gambler’s Notebook, with my thoughts jotted down in a journal-like format for all to share. So I think it still works! For now…
