New Layout & Theme
I’ve finally decided that once and for all, it’s time to change the way my site looks. After alot of browsing around for that right theme, I finally found one that I feel would be suited to what I wanted to do.
Here’s how my old theme looked like, this theme has served me for a good 3 years now and as we move into the fourth year of this blog (I started the blog in October 6, 2006, on my birthday), I decided that a change definitely is on hand. But it was quite hard cause I was unable to find ‘the right’ theme that I should use.
Well, finally, I can say that my search has finally come to an end. This new theme is very minimalistic yet provide me with exactly what I want. A Layout that is big enough that I can put my photos in to share. After all, I started this site apart from blogging is also to share with my readers some of my work, be it landscape, portrait or products/abstract work.
A lot of blogs themes out there despite being nice to use, doesn’t really give justice to the photos I have. Well, I can safely say that it’s no longer a problem for me. Do note though as you browse through some of my older posts, the photo alignments are all out. I will definitely get about fixing this errors as the photos I initially uploaded are catered to a small theme compared to this.
The top of the site contains a slide show of 5 images that I like from my photography outings, I will update the slide show with newer photos or nicer photos as my portfolio widens more.
What do you think of this new theme? Do share with me your thoughts on it and I’ll definitely work on improving it and allow it to run smoother, especially for readers using slower broadbands (think streamyx).

@Zi Sheng: Am trying to do that actually but being a noob at scripting on WordPress, ‘m still trying to figure out how without it affecting my entire site. Still doing the trial and error for this theme.
