Rated 4.4/5 stars (180 votes cast) Thanks for your vote!

First of all, I hope the new changes in the theme appeals to you. They have been done to maximize your viewing pleasure while maintaining good accessibility and functionality. The theme remains in compliance with the British disability and accessibility act. And allows people to do the most important thing a blog need to have. Legibility!

I admit, I'm no graphic designer. And since this blog is not a rip-off of wordpress or some other fantastic blogging engine. The themes are also original. (not only the content)

Now, I don't claim I didn't build on what others have done. I also don't claim to be a good graphic designer. In fact, I suck at that. I know how to make things functional. But not pretty. I know how to design a mega service. But not how to make it look appealing. I can follow just about every standard or guideline out there and still come up with a pretty ugly design

Anyway, the bottom line is, over the next few days (weeks?) the theme is going to slowly change into something better (hopefully) if you have an idea, please share it. If you like something, point it out ... and if you have the capacity to help please do so!

Unlike other people, I don't think graphic design is a science (only) I completely believe it's more of an art than anything else. I can teach you the whole science and theory behind graphic design, color mixing and visual appeal and STILL fail to produce anything worth looking at. It's not that I have photoshop handicap, I know that thing inside out. But I just can't produce something good with it! I just can't!

Bottom line is ... sorry for the visual clutter :)

Good work qwaider! Your theme looks nice, however try to remove the horizontal bar (i hate scrollbars).. did you design the theme for screens larger than 1024*768?

i like the lighter background behind the text ... this theme is way better than the ones before but it still reminds me of the orange juice can "Rani Pulps" ... :P

have to admit ... after adding the comments RSS for each seperate post ... your blog is the most functional blog i visit ... and take my word i visit ALOT of blogs ...

peace

one thing ... the No-Spam sign the the comment box header is very ugly ... lose it for something nicer ...

I think that this theme is better than what you used to have. It is good to have a white background with a black text (easier to read). Good job.
