New Design Launched

10 Comments » (add your own)

Hi, I’ve just released a new version of my Blog/Portfolio. I wasn’t happy with the old for a while and therefore I’ve been looking for a new design for quite some time and came across  lot’s of pre made themes and none of them did the trick, now i hear You’ll think your a designer so why not design it yourself, well believe me i tried like 1 million times and was never satisfied with the end result.

Now my friend Roger Byrne was selling his Styletime design which was originally crafted by Jon Phillips and i always found that theme awesome and therefore I’ve bought it from him. Jon Phillips did a great job but as You’ll know when you buy a theme for yourself you want to give it your own style and that’s what i did.

You may view the original work form Jon here.

And then the new and improved version, i did some heavy modification to the single page, front page and navigation, I’ve also added a few extra sidebars to keep the blog and pages separate and installed Cufon for the MetroScript Typeface. If you want to know more about the things i’ve added or removed then feel free to contact me.

Another thing that’s new is a Community Section inside the single posts sidebar so if you want to gain a little exposure then feel free to submit you design related articles here and I’m going to release more content for my blog in 2010 so stay tuned. When you encounter any problems or when there something not looking right then you may send me a note as well. (this theme is not tested with IE6, so no notes about that)

    Nice little changes that really make a difference on the new theme. I know what you mean by how hard it is to be satisfied with a design you come up with by yourself, I’m my hardest client too.
