How About a Facelift?
Filed under Administrative, News
After using the Agregado theme for almost a year, I’ve decided to switch to a theme by Elegant Themes.
Michael from Pro Blog Design brought Elegant Themes to my attention. It’s hard to find good personal blog themes, so it’s ironic that I thought the eBusiness theme was perfect for this small personal blog.
The theme forced me to re-think my site structure, so things have shifted around quite a bit.
Some Features Worth Pointing Out
If you have a moment, check out my “About” page. It’s probably the part of the site I spent the most time on.
Another feature is the new “Suggest a Topic” feature. Since I don’t post on this site as much as I used to, I’ve had a couple of requests to find guest authors. The “Suggest a Topic” will hopefully fill this need.
There are a ton of other behind-the-scenes features, but if you’re used to my old site, you shouldn’t find getting around too problematic.
Feedback?
I imagine that I haven’t found every bug on the theme switch, so if you stumble across any, please let me know via comment or e-mail.
I’d also be interested to know what you think of the new theme/structure.
Take care and have a good week.

I really like themes from Elegant themes and I think for a small fee you can have an access on all of their premiums right? For now, I am still with free themes but planning to get my professional elegant themes later. BTW, nice choice!

@Oes,
It’s $19.99 a year, and you have access to all their themes plus the support forums. Pretty good deal if you ask me, even if you want just one.

Glad to hear you liked the recommendation Ronald! Elegant Themes really are a great company I think (The themes look awesome and it’s hard to beat that price tag
)
Hope the theme works out well for you! (It’s looking really nice so far
)

Well, I liked this theme Ron. The color is great and content can be read clearly and easily.

I personally find this theme and color choice very soothing visually. I hope you keep it for awhile, and I must admit – if I ran a blog I would probably use your color combination to an extent. Thankfully I don’t, so no copycat worries
