What can you say about the new look of the site? It’s actually based on a free WP template (which you may or may have seen me use yesterday). Credits for that original and all the stuff used on this layout can be found in the Colophon page.
I combined a lot of elements I like into it. It’s a minimalist theme that barely uses images, so site loading is quick. It’s got a fixed width that looks okay in browsers (I’ve tried on my 1280-wide screen and at my office laptop that has 1024 pixels only). I used a cute new set of images for the Sociable plugin (those little buttons below each entry), which seem to suit the look just fine. I also went trigger-happy with the widgets (2 Flickr, 1 Twitter, etc…) on the sidebar. I also changed the colors from shades of pink to a deep shade of red, tinkered with the image CSS code, and made the header image using brushes and my own randomness. 
I’ve made this theme version “my own” and I might keep this look for a very long time.
So anyway, I have to go. It’s wayyy past 3am, and yesterday I slept only about 3 hours, so I need to catch up on some sleep. I don’t wanna end up dozing off at work or anything like that! Haha 
PS: It’s my dad’s brithday today! :love:
