This blog has undergone 4 design changes since it was started in 2009. It’s amazing how each of the blog designs are so different from each other and have different focus. And contrary to what people think when I made these changes, countless hours were actually spent in planning and tweaking the design to make sure they fit in based on how I envision it.
Of course a lot has changed since the last redesign. First is me reverting back to casual posting without any more focus on making money and growing my readership. Second is me leaning towards a simple, even ‘old school’ blog template. No interest in magazine themes anymore, nor do I want carousels and all those fancy stuff that just increase load time. All I want is a theme that features my writing and rambling. Nothing more, nothing less.
With that being said, I am probably sticking to Studiopress as they have some of the best ‘simple and clean’ themes available around. In fact the current design which is called ‘eleven 40’ is still great but since it’s been running this same theme for more than 2 years now, I decided that a change is inevitable.
Well, let’s just say that the theme-searching and overall design planning starts now. Do you have any Studiopress theme that you can suggest to me? Or even no Studiopress theme would also work fine if I happen to like the theme. Feel free to share what you think in the comment form below
Hi Melvin,
I’ve no themes on the StudioPress front buddy, but have to say things are looking nice and clean here. Why change it?

Hi Ryan,
Good question. 🙂 Actually it is more of a customary thing for me as I tend to sour on the blog’s design after some time. To freshen things a bit, I do change the design of the blog and this also helps with me renewing my enthusiasm with this blog overall. Sounds kinda weird but it’s the case. 🙂
