Major changes to the blog

the-computer-demands-a-blog.gif

As you, my dear readers, may have already noticed, your favorite blog (!!!) has undergone a major overhaul over the past four days. The fantastic theme that you see has been designed and coded by [xubz], with help from yours truly. We began working on the theme almost 5 months back, but as it has been with every other project, it got delayed for various (obvious) reasons.

Well, the theme is finally out of the pipeline and as you can see, it has turned out great. I know, I know, I went around asking for feedback and some of you absolutely hate it. However, you gotta praise [xubz] for his fantastic work.

I now have a logo, a sort of a unique identity which I’m gonna use across the forums / communities I am a member of.

There have been several changes made to the structure of the blog. The theme is uniform across the main blog, my tumblog and my twitter profile page’s background is somewhat similar to the theme too. Although the prime focus will be the blog itself, I will post random short stuff that is too large for twitter and too small for a blog entry. You get the idea.

Also, as you may have seen, the sidebar carries the Skribit widget now. I’d really appreciate it, if you left some suggestions for me :)

I’ve also added and enabled the Wphone plugin, which gives me the possibility to access and manage my blog’s Dashboard from my iPhone through a fantastic iPhone interface. Some screenshots below.



Apart from that, I particularly love the metabar below, just above the footer.

I am trying to make sure you flush out all the post ideas that I had stored all this while because the theme wasn’t flushed out. So watch out :)

    The new theme looks great! The uniformity in look and feel across all - twitter, tumblr is just fanstatic. And yeah logo’s damn good, but you have been using it for a while right? Oh well. Nice going!

    Hey thanks for that WP control panel man! Wow. It is simply awesome.

    Although. I always find that though they try and copy Apple’s buttons, they are never quite the same.

    You don’t use wordpress, do you ?
    And I’m assuming you haven’t yet used iUi. Give it a looksie. It’s exactly the same interface.
