Blog Design Update for 2014

by Melvin · May 18, 2014

I hinted at a blog design makeover in my previous blog post and here it is now. Unfortunately, it’s not 100% complete yet and because the current blog theme during the time looked more messed up while this is being cooked up, I decided making this new design live is a reasonable decision rather than continuing with a messed up theme.

There will still be lots of changes that is going to happen over the next few weeks and months however in terms of the layout and structure, this will be it. ๐Ÿ™‚ As you can see it is simpler and cleaner than ever and with less elements to be distracted about. I will still run ads as they come but it will not be in the same quantity as it used to before.

Finally, I am still feeling my way on the things that I can do with the new template which by the way is from Genesis of Studiopress still. As hinted on the temporary header, I would like to make the design more picture-oriented. Not that I would start posting pictures solely and forget about writing text, but I’d like to see if I can add something more “artistic” and “creative” to the way I do things and by that I mean running this personal blog. I also don’t have a logo yet considering the old one simply can’t be transferred here. I also wanted a new logo to refresh things up and I’m fortunate to tap the services of a talented graphics designer which happened to be my friend. I’m excited!

As always, let me know what you think and what I can improve more in the design. I will be writing a full blog post on the blog redesign once it’s completed and I’ll go in-depth on what the changes mean to me and to you as my reader.

    Melvin,
    The new theme is neat and uncluttered. I liked the typography – on mobile too it looks great.

    As a relatively ‘old’ person, I feel that the RGB of the body font could be a dash darker – may be #555555 or even darker. Perhaps it’s just me ๐Ÿ˜‰
