Today I have been experimenting with the appearance of my blog. I started by searching google for “free blogger templates”. The first result is Free Blogger Templates, and I spent just a couple of minutes browsing there, before I found a template I liked. It’s called San Francisco Skyline, and I think it looks quite good. I have changed it a little though, as I’m not a fan of pure white backgrounds. I’m not quite finished with my tinkering yet, so some adjustments are still to be made to the white background color, but that’s just minor changes. The overall theme will not be changed.
Now, I’m no web designer, so in your eyes I might not have high enough standards regarding the design of these pages (I’m not even going to talk about the code-behind). But I like it, and I’ll use this new design for a while before evaluating, to let things sink in a bit. That doesn’t mean that I’m not open to suggestions and constructive criticism, it just means that I won’t be using much of my time to address that kind of feedback right now.
I think it’s fun to experiment with the design of my blog, and I want to thank the people who have made it so easy to do so. The fact that it is so easy to change the design of a blog is, to me at least, a sign of good underlying design.
