It must've been keen foresight on the part of my folks to have nicknamed me "Blogie" when I was still in diapers. Now, I'm a Web warrior living up to his name!

Site makeover

ittalks_headerI began revamping my blogs’ themes about two weeks ago, starting with my food blog, and finally came to a satisfying conclusion with IT talks!. All in all, I was able to completely change the designs of 5 personal blogs — that is to say, those blogs for which I personally write. It has been an exhilarating, although at times frustrating, experience!

The main reason why I switched themes was to keep up with WordPress technologies. Since version 2.7, new-fangled features have already been made available to WordPress bloggers (and those who use this awesome platform as a CMS). However, themes and plugins needed to be upgraded as well. Plugins are easy: when authors upgrade them, they’re readily available for deployment. Themes, on the other hand, need a bit more tweaking to make them WP2.7-ready.

So, since my blogs had already been sporting those old designs for long enough (except for Blogie Blog, but that’s beside the point), and because I was able to get my hands on a set of terrific WP themes from WooThemes.com, I decided to take the plunge.

I hope you like the new “look and feel” of my IT blog. :)

  1. Looks good! Actually, I like all the themes at woothemes.com

    They really have an eye for detail. And you did a good job customizing it.
