New design

So, I spent much of the day today re doing my site. I hope you all like it. I have been craving something cleaner and with more whitespace and I found this design the other day.

It’s actually a design by Brian Gardner (Revolution)  The code is perfect, clean and the load time is amazing. There were a few more themes of his that I loved but I settled on this one because I love the blue color that was in this theme. I have loved the Revolution Themes since the day it came out and some day I hope to be able to actually purchase it. But until that time, I will use one of his other awesome themes! He has a ton of great themes over at his blog. I suggest that you go check them out.

There are still a bunch of things I want to do to my side bars and all - but for now, as long as I am up & running and you guys can read, I am ok with them not being “perfect.”

My RSS feeds buttons are now in the upper right hand corner and I added a fun “GD Star Rating” to my posts too. Not sure what I wanna do with my BlogLog stuff and all that yet. Also, I added a Twitter tool to my sidebar again. This one is cool because when I post it will automatically update my twitter feed. (Sorry to my Twitter peeps for this double Twit) and, I finally got around to fixing my “Contact Me” form. :) There are still a few things I need to tweak, but I am not in any hurry.

Lemme know what you think of the new look. Yeay? or Nay?

Any ideas? suggestions?

  1. You new design look good, and loads super fast. I kept looking for the comment link at the bottom of the post, then finally found it at the top. Good job, added your feed to my reader.

    Eric, One of the things I noticed was how fast it loaded! Glad that you liked the new design, thank you very much! :)

  2. I like the new design - especially the blue. I am glad you emailed me about it because I am slowly trying to catch back up and it might have taken me another week to get over here. Being gone for 2 whole weeks can really set you back. I’m off to see what else you have been up to.

    Cath, No problem! I thought you might have been wanting to know! :)

  3. Revolution is apparently going open source next month so you should be able to pick up some his designs for free pretty soon. He’s already cut the price of the existing designs but you wont be able to buy them after 31st Oct.

    Bob, Thank you for the link. I guess I should have mentioned that it was going OS in my post. This was how I happened to find this awesome theme! :)

  4. I’m a fan of neat and clean….. works for me!
