A New Era, A New Look

October 12, 2008 · View Comments ·

Leaner times are ahead, so I thought I’d shoot for a simple, minimal design for this blog, with an emphasis on white space. Besides, my old blog’s header image was a panoramic shot of lower Manhattan, take from Brooklyn; I moved out of Brooklyn two years ago. Also, my blog was hacked this past year, and I think it had something to do with funky code in my last design template.

Let me know what you think. I adapted it from the Gridline Lite, a WordPress theme by Graph Paper Press (thanks guys). I tweaked a few things here and there, but I’m not a programmer. So let me know if you encounter any bugs.

Do you use any sort of analytics? Depending on where people click (including you), you might reorder/eliminate the content in your sidebar and footer.

more. Simplicity is the highest art.
Vanessa Tripp October 21, 2008 at 9:18 am: A refreshing change. Good choice. Glad I tore myself away from Google Reader to view it.
