Lying to others is bad, but lying to yourself is unforgivable. In this case, however, I think I can forgive myself for lying that I am not going to redesign this blog look’s anytime soon. Here I am, just three months later, with a semi-new theme to add to my already growing list of “new looks”. Semi-new, because the layout is basically the same (I just removed the three-column footer in the not-so-old design).
I changed my fonts to fun-ner ones, I changed the color combination of the site to my current favorite palette (I honestly can’t seem to like the color blue on a long-term basis), I changed the navigation images AND I added a few extra features missing on my old Headway design (I love my social sharing buttons now! See them at the left side of this article? Sooo nice, if I may say so myself).
The biggest change around here, however, is that this is not Headway-based anymore, but Thesis-based. No, my love story with Headway is not over yet, I just thought it’d be wise to learn how to make WordPress themes using Thesis as well. What better way to start practicing than on my own blog, right? I admit I sorely missed the Live Editor capability of Headway while making this new theme (I had to keep refreshing to see how it looks while I code), but Thesis has a lot of nifty features too that I now adore.
This new look is definitely more “me”, a lot warmer, and it still has my signature clutter. If it isn’t busy then it isn’t me. LOL. I have yet to fully embrace minimalism.
So. What do you think?

I love the color combination! I am into Earth colors too.

I love this new design. It’s cool and clean! Question, how much magparedesign ng blog?
It’s normal for designers to change their blogwear as soon as they feel they’re not contented, happy or just wanna create a new challenge if they can surpass the previous work..
As always sis, each of your designed theme is a work of art 🙂
