New look

I've just about finished tweaking the new look of my site. Replacing the template means all the widgets I've put in before with their respective contents would be lost and I don't think there's any way I could just copy and paste them from my old template onto the new one. So there, almost complete.

I actually wasn't supposed to do a major overhaul on this one; it was my other blog that I was supposed to change the appearance. I've no idea yet on how to work around CSS so my only recourse was to look for free downloadable themes. I was actually becoming excited about it since there were plenty of cool themes that are downloadable. There are also a lot of cool hacks available for wordpress users so I was actually thinking of making that new one my main blog. anyway, I've already downloaded my theme of choice, trying to sneak around the admin page to find out how to install it, and even looked at tutorials. the truth that i won't be able to use those came crushing down on the site's forum. only the themes available there could be used: those awesome downloadable themes and cool hacks could only be applied if one's using the software wordpress.org. oh, well...

then just tonight, the idea seized me again to change the look of this blog once again. i browsed thru some of those offered on one site and when i found this theme, i knew this was it. I love the feel of the theme and the pizza image just added to the appeal. It's like a breath of fresh air that's just right for my current pursuits. So i'm saying goodbye to the old look (which by the way, is the same theme that KaPete is using - actually got the idea from him). For keepsakes - here's the blog in the old theme:



I've removed the shoutbox from the new layout. And the layout just seems to make the site look clean unlike before (observe the many lists on my sidebars). the Blogger navbar is also invisible by default. However, the recent posts widget won't show up, and the ShareThis button I've installed is also invisible. Gotta look into it soon. For now, I'm glad I found this template.
