Uglifying Simple Thoughts Blog

Simple Thoughts LogoI am making some more changes to the site. Bear with my uglification / beautification (you decide) efforts. This is the first step before we move to full CSS based site. I too am joining bandwagon, finally.

Every design needs to be changed with time. When I designed it several years ago, it served its purpose well. Over the years some of the artifacts have become unnecessary and added to the cluttered look. I am trying to simplify the look and navigation. The most commented posts, last commented posts and even frequent commentators had to go. It wasn’t serving much purpose for visitors.

With CSS based design I am planning to further simplify the layout and make it easier to modify. I also want to reduce the page size. I removed the several Javascript based statistics trackers and settled on Google Analytics alone.

Any suggestions on improving the layout would be very welcome.

Looks great to me just if you can add few light colors in background or Header it will look more professional!

Hi Angsuman

Thats really cool that you are revamping the site. My suggestion would be to provide clear demarcated sidebars, and also a full fledged title-banner. Too much of white space spoils the beauty…
