A brand new theme for an upcoming year

Uncategorized

I’m quite sick of looking at my old theme – Lintfree. So I decided to update the look and feel of this blog. It’s more like an interim theme and will be here for around 6 months till I ORD. The new theme is called “Cleancut”.

The previous //beconfused theme - Lintfree.

Lintfree hasn’t been updated since a really long time and it began to show it’s age when portions of the theme refuses to work in the upcoming WordPress release. That was when I realize it’s time to perform a overhaul in the look and feel.

Some changes:

* Web site width changed to 900 px instead of the previous 770 px. More and more people are using 1024 x 768 these days so it shouldn’t be a problem. I am using 1440 x 900 so web site width of 770 px turns out surprising torturing.
* Removed the Ultimate Tag Warrior plugin completely and used WordPress’s categories instead. I want to decrease reliance on third party plugins. All my posts are updated accordingly.
* Optimize it for search engines like Google – site maps and more
* I’m using WordPress Widgets finally. I included this huge ORD counter widget to compute my days to freedom.
* Images are larger now, at around 550 px. This enables me to include better resolution images.

I hope you guys like the new look. Please give comments if you guys have any.

  1. I think the best words to the describe the new theme to me are :

    “Zesty”

    I don’t know why, I get this cool lemony drink taste from it :)

  4. I have just checked your blog, interesting new design! However you have forgotten to link me back

    Please do so!
    Thanks in advance!

    I have really prefered the first manga like pic and design your blog had when I first visited it. Wish you would do something like that for mine hehe (embending the banner I currently have). But due to your busyness (probably) you never got back to me when you had offered that design thingie for free reputation.

  5. Nafcom: It randomizes 5 people to display each time you load, I emailed you more details on that behavior.

    I’m kinda busy these couple of days with some work at the church. I’ll get back to you next week regarding the web site design though. ;)
