Blog Overhaul

I had not touched my blog for a couple of months. Lately Teddy urged me to update the blog since I am having semester break now. Today afternoon I had some time so I decided to start working on this blog again.

It was another blog overhaul. I actually did it a few times, probably once a year if I am not mistaken. Yet, I did not change the server or domain name like wad I did previously. Well, I did plan to move my blog to another platform because I just hate the limitations imposed by Blogger. After searching for several alternatives, I convinced myself to stick to what I have now because I don't feel like want to spend my Paypal credits. Renovation is always cheaper than moving to a new house, isn't it? So I just changed the template and add in some widgets. I spent a few hours on hacking the code to make sure that every part of the template is fine and clean. It was pretty challenging since I don't have the documentation of this template but I just enjoyed it.

In addition, I removed all the labels applied to my previous posts and made the posts labeled as "Archives" so you will know those posts are old.

So how do you think about the design of my blog now? Is it much cleaner and neater? Is it easier to navigate and view now? Give me your comments! */

    Yea,your blog is tidy, and navigatable, but maybe it lacks a touch of creativity.

    Just think on it k.

  2. Hi, thanks for your comment!

    Too bad I am not a graphic designer, nor am I good in producing images. Perhaps I should focus on writing good contents rather than spending time on designing the blog.
