The Revamped Blog

Hi all,

It has been many months since my last post. Now my first year of blogging has about ended, and I have decided to spruce up my blog. For those who have not visited my old blog, let me describe to you what changes I have made.

1. Change the blog template

My previous blog template was almost entirely composed of hues of green with tinges of white (the words) but I have recently change it to a different template and edited the template to contain shades of cool colours such as blue, green and purple.

2. Delete unnecessary widgets

There were too many widgets on the right sidebar, many of them rather useless. I got rid of them. Frequent visitors of my blog will also realize that I have changed many aspects of my mixpod. I have changed the skin to that of a MiniPod and added several more new tunes, including several pieces from Kevin Kern's Endless Blue Sky disc and Richard Clayderman's Autumn Leaves. All the soundtracks in my mixpod are new age soothing music.

3. Change my profile

I have decided to change my profile picture to one I edited using photoshop (and got from wikipedia prior to that). I have also edited the content of my profile completely. In my profile I now clearly state my interests and fragments of my school life. I have changed my profile name too, to prevent distancing myself from others due to different interests.

4. Change my blog title

I have changed my blog title (originally "the environment...and much more!") also because of the aforementioned reason-to make it appeal more to readers as a whole. Not everyone shares the same interests as me, but people of my age and in my social circle definitely are schooling!

In all, the current layout and personal profile of the blog will give you a rather truthful insight into me.

For once, a short and sweet post!

  1. Hello, Ernest. Altogether, I think your blog template is nice and although I have never witnessed your previous blog template, judging by the number of widgets which betrays your cause as an environmentalist, you have put in considerable effort in revamping your blog. Finally, i like the part in your blog about the "reaction--> cool/interesting/funny" because it reveals your humour in (not)
    providing a holistic view.

    Keep up the good work.

    Btw. please follow me at my blog and comment if you have any. Thanks. You know my blog, it is in your links.

  2. Hi Ernest, I think that your blog has improved from last year in terms of layout and colour.
    Your blog is more visually appealing than before because of the good combination of blue, green and purple. It definitely looks a lot more pleasant than your previous shades of green. The layout of your blog is also better in terms of neatness. To me, it looks much more tidy probably because you took care to arrange the page elements on the right panel. Content-wise, your posts remains as interesting as before.

    Your blog is quite well done generally. I hope Mr. Chen is generous in awarding you ACE points!

  3. Hi Ernest, sorry for the late comment. I feel that the revamping of your blog has really been a success. The clearing of "useless" gadgets makes the blog really organised. Besides, the colours that you have chosen are also combined really well, and your posts are very interesting. Look forward to more of your posts. :D

  4. Hi Ernie,

    Really great revamp ( in consensus with leishen)

    The disposal of useless widgets is a great great move.

    As for me, I entirely abandoned my earlier blog and started on a new one.

    Colour combi is great, great choice of song. The blog has a superbly distinct and attractive identity, and has portrayed you well.

    Great job.

    Cheers,
    Zhu Cheng
