So, how'd you like my new blog template? I like it because i seems neater and my photos come with a border, but i'm wondering if this will stick. I do wonder how i can make fuller use of the screen width though.

The orange one has been around ever since this blog began and i decided to try the switch since the new templates are an improvement from the old Blogger ones. I didn't mean for the blog to look this pinkish actually. It just happened that each element agreed individually with me, but when i looked at it as a whole... Alamak, it looked a lil too pink for my liking. But on the whole, i'm okay with the balance between the light green, greys, whites, some red and pink though i was gunning for a more earthy tone vibe.

yay! thanks van. it makes me feel quite homey for some reason.

zen:

heehee, really ah. this one too structured and organized? the orange one is more carefreeish, hor.

the pink comes from the chatbox and the red from the labels and bligpost titles template.

zzenn:

hahahha... that i agree, about it feeling more "grown up". :D

i'll see if this grows on me, or whether i'll start to miss the orange one. for now, i actually feel homey with this one, albeit it feeling a lil more prim and proper.

ooh we is discovered designer templates from blogger heh? :P

perhaps can change one single design element to orange just to have a bit of the old template's feel. myb the blog sub title, the borders/separation lines ard the posts / widgets or the post footers.
Or just put the peekchure of Jed-on-a-bean-bug as the id photo hehehe.

yes i think the phootos now stand out more also bcs it's on a cream latte background; not competing with pure white like previously. ;)

i don't know how to tweak small details like borders and stuff lah... prolly need to go into the CSS, HTML, and goodness knows what else? but i think i can change the subtitle colour without too much hassle cos Blogger knows there are bloggers like me with little knowledge on the miniscule things like codes.

speaking of the subtitle, was trying hard to remember why i wrote that some 7 years ago. Trying to understand the 19 year old me. Hm...
