New Design

Posted on | January 24, 2007 | 6 Comments

Finally! After a few days of work, I managed to finish (well sort of) re-designing / customizing this new theme . This is one of the reason why I’m not updating my blog recently. To tell you honestly, I was planning on using a new theme by the start of this year. I already started last December but wasn’t able to finish it on time because I was pre-occupied during the holiday season.

I’m back with the blue and white theme which is what I mostly used. This theme is based from the 3 K2 Redux klein theme by Headsetoptions. It is a modified K2 theme which I then modified for my own preference. By the way, I would like to thank him for helping me out with my inquiries on customizing the theme.

The blue background you see here is from John’s website. He has a very informative site that contains tips and guides about blogging and I strongly recommend you to visit his site.

I also updated my blog engine to WordPress 2.1. Unfortunately, I encountered a few bumps during the upgrade which further delayed launching the new theme and losing some comments on my blog.

Basically, this came along with the new theme:

  • Upgraded to WordPress 2.1
  • Used new plugins like the Adsense Beautifier and the Feedburner Feed
  • MyblogLog on my sidebar
  • Remove unnecessary plugins and clutter
  • Finally, an "About" page
  • You can now get updates thru your email

    Right now, I’m on a bug hunting mode for this theme. I would appreciate it if you can leave a comment if you encounter an error while browsing my blog. Suggestions and recommendations are welcome as well.

    Oh! and a response about the new design is appreciated. So, do you like the new design? :)

      Hey man, glad you liked it. I’m really quite satisfied with the end result of modifying this theme. I’m not done yet though… I still need to add a link for the blogroll and photos.

      By the way, I already signed up with blogprofit and notified them that you’re may referrer.
