This site had had the old look for too long now, and its always good to have a refresh. This new look brings in some nice colours and an interesting approach to navigation and movement around the site.

The style is essentially dark blue/grey, with a new header design as well. The logo has been replaced with that which appears on most other websites. The new smaller links bar at the top provides links to my most popular other places (Facebook and Twitter) as well as RSS Feeds and also some of my other projects. The main links section for the site has been replaced with a new, friendly message which also acts as clear links for the site content.

Improved and simplified CSS has also been used.

At the moment there are still a few rough edges, with essentially the site structure still the same. There will be some future change to templates to better improve what is possible. The development of other sites has taught me alot more about all the things we can do with WordPress, and I’m keen to use them here too!

Anyway, geekyness over. Thanks, and I hope you like it!

Its blue, and it has a much simplified homepage which was inspired by another site I was browsing earlier today. I really wanted the background to be a lighter colour (as I like this website to look light and bright) and I wanted to use this photo…

…but I couldn’t find the original so I had to settle for a cropped load of sky from another nice photo I have. I think it looks pretty decent, although I really cannot be bothered to test it with stupid Internet Explorer.

Enjoy! It’s likely that it won’t be here for long!
