This is the one where Jon talks about his new blog design.

It has been about 4 months since 53M1 first launched. I think it is finally time for a new design. After drawing many random sketches of the new theme, I decided to go with this one. So without further ado, I present you with the changes beneath the comestics.

For those who are lazy there is a bullet point summarizing all this below all this.

First of all, yes it is still running under Wordpress 2.1. It is also based on another design based on Scott Wallick’s “brilliantness”. In this case Simplr.

One of the obvious new features is the “summary of the post” if that’s what you want to call it. If you don’t know, it’s that grey box above this post, and beneath the post title. It is as the name suggest, the “summary of the post…”. It was inspired by non other then Bryan Veloso of Avalonstar.

I have removed the then dying “elsewhere” with just my Del.icio.us account since I update del.icio.us more anyway. Scroll down for the links. I have also removed the dying twitter for now.

I have also included my Flickr feed beside my del.icio.us links.

The new comment theme is similar to Stammy’s. No I did not steal his code. It is a template from a tutorial that I found a couple days ago.

I have also removed the Digg button, since it was sadly useless.

Now for the lazy arses that was not lazy to scroll down to my wrap up, a simple bullet point!

Added

Removed

Hope you like the new theme! Tell me what you think =D
