Frequent readers of my blog will have noticed by now that something’s different. I’ve had my old blog design for about a year and a half, and for the last six months, the look of it was really bothering me.
In short, my old blog looked like a cheap suit – very grey with too many noisy bits (pinstripe background seals the “suit” analogy).
I decided to reduce all the clutter by choosing a minimalistic layout, and the base theme is one by Codreanu Catalin. The colors come from the SNES controller (and the Earthbound menu).
Hopefully now the content takes precendence without obtrusive layout getting in the way.
I like the clean look. =) Good times!
