New Theme, New Blog

I never have many readers to begin with, so this huge change (to me) shouldn’t be a huge problem.

To those of you who have noticed that there are no more posts other than this one, I’ve remade my blog. All old posts have been properly backed up so they’re not entirely gone for good. I may still check back my old posts as reference once in awhile.

As for this new theme I’m currently using, it’s called Tranquil. Mainly because I wanted it to be clean and minimal, giving readers a sense of tranquility. I’ve made some changes compared to standard WordPress themes.

  • It has been written in HTML5 and I’ve made pretty good use of the theme’s function.php file.
  • The sidebar has been removed with all the content moved to the top navigational bar for a bigger reading space.
  • There are no div tags, except for one that wraps the inside of the <!–[if IE]><![endif]–> conditional tag.
  • Only 1 image is used. Others are all done with the power of CSS
  • I’ve somewhat removed the footer and comments link for I see no point in having them.
  • If so happen there comes the need to contact me, I’ve made a contact form which will be used to email me.
  • Permalinks have been moved from the title of posts to the calendar at the side

The reason I cleared all my old posts is because there are countless broken links scattered all around them, which I refuse to check through each and every one of them.

Posts that I will be writing will still be random, ranging form my personal experiences to news that I find interesting. I’m hoping that this new start will be a better one than before.

Following the light of the sun, we left the Old World.
