I think it’s quite obvious for my readers that the site has, once more, changed a theme! It’s been quite some time since the last one (June 2008) so i started getting bored of the old one. Also, i decided i needed more from my theme. And when i say more i mean being it simpler, cleaner and more professional looking. I think this theme achieves all these goals. The major change, besides the theme i mean, is that i added the lifestream thingy on the top. It kinda came with the theme but i could have disabled it. Though, i think it’s not that heavy for the server so i decided to keep it. It’s a bit glitchy for now but i will figure out why soon.
So, how do you like the change guys? Did you find any problems? Do you see something you don’t like or, in your opinnion, needs to be changed? I’d love to get your feedback!
Looks much more professional indeed.. I simply love the header background and the logo color integration… đ
Completely agree with Sid, am in love with the way you use php tag in the header!
Sorry I missed giving my observations đ
Positives-
1) Professional design
2) Header
3) Link to pages on top
4) MOTM on the right sidebar looks cool and will get more attention.
5) Lifestream widget is beautiful.
Negatives-
1) Hire Me image isn’t blending properly with the background
2) Calendar widget needs to be center aligned?
3) Categories, archives and blogroll are too long for a single sidebar.
That’s all I can think of right now đ Great work Stratos!!
More Positives-
1) I directly landed on this post page and hence missed out seeing the homepage. Its gorgeous!!! No 2 words!!
Few Negatives-
1) You still have the math captcha đ
2) Text color in the posts can be made white?
3) “Hire Me” info should find a more prominent place.
4) Line spacing in posts can be increased a bit?
5) You should provide an option to edit our last comment đ Just kidding đ
@Sid: Thanks for stopping by!
@Raju: Man you gave me things to think about đ The little things you mentioned will be ironed out in a few days. Thanks for mentioning. And the math captcha will probably still stay on because i hate spam protection like akismet and the like đ
As for the edit comments i am thinking about adding it… Thanks again! You guys rock! đ
The theme looks very professional man. The header is awesome. And change the font color of the comment form. It is difficult to see the “Name” and “Email” . Rest the theme looks great
@Madhur: Man what color do you mean cause i don’t see the problem. I know it might sound silly but i can’t seem to understand which one you mean…
Nice theme… I like it..
Look very professional…
and color and text color are matching đ
Hi – I really like the header and the lifestream part too. I think the category area could be reduced if the number of posts in the category was put next to the category name. I also agree with Raju that the calendar should be centered – though do you need it? I’ve never found the calendar to be that useful.
It really is beautiful!
Nice theme mate! đ
Look good đ
Check the charset though! I can’t type in greek!
@Kim: You have a valid point about the calendar. As for the categories it’s a small thingy with the theme i will look into. Thanks for your valuable feedback!
@Giwrgos: What do you mean you can’t write Greek? Have you tried?
It works now đ
When I tried before, letters showed up as boxes. I think it was a browser or a cache problem đ
@George: Yah most probably đ Thanks for stopping by!
This theme does look a lot nicer than the old one. I like this design.
The theme is really very good stratos. I like it a hell of a lot better than the last one. I’m not too sure about the lifestream as it doesn’t really appeal to me.
@Sire: Well Lifestream made me skeptic too but i guess it’s ok. I am monitoring it very tight performance-wise and if it screws up it’s out there door. But, it seems it’s ok đ Thanks for stopping by!
One more bug – nothing happens when I click the “responses” hyperlink below the post title.
@Raju: Thanks for noticing man. I fixed it. Thanks again!
Nice theme man. Your blog looks very professional now. đ
Btw this comments section is too dark. Similar to a horror movie.
Well the theme get’s darker when moving to the bottom… i guess my commenters are hiding in the dark places đ Thanks for stopping by!
Well, I’m a bit late on this, but I love this new look. I had to double check that i was looking at the right blog. đ Very very nice change.
@Shirley: Thanks i really appreciate you dropping by. And yes this kind of change is the one that makes you double check the URL đ
