• And We’re Back With Our New Theme!

    Alright guys and girls, we’re back up and ready to kick some butt. What you’re on right now, is the new WPCandy theme! It may not look like your average blog, but I wanted to go with something different. Some parts of the site are still with us, so bare with us. The gallery needed a huge make-over, so you’ll notice there’s basically nothing in there (for now).

    We’ll be working on getting everything sorted and fixed, as well as getting posts up, over the next few days. Expect a lot from us. Anyways, I wish you all a Happy New Years. Have a fun and safe night!

    Looks pretty nice; it’s definitely a change from the old one.

    Thanks everyone. I’m glad (most of) you guys like it!

    I’m still working out some bugs around the site, though.

    It’s really beautiful. Are you going to allow users to download the old one? I wanted to know how to make that great top menu…

    Seeing I have come in late, is there a chance of a screenshot or something to see the previous version??

    It’s got a completely different feel from the previous version, but I love the usage of whitespace all over the place. Congratulations for the new theme!

    I’m loving it Mike, very nicely done! I like the styling of the posts a lot and it’s been a wise decision not to include those large images in every post.

  18. Michael Castilla said:

    @Hafiz: Yeah that’s what my aim was. Tons of white space to make it clean :)

    @Bram: Thanks man. And yeah, those big images just don’t really work with this new design. :)

    Well, you know I like it. I like the minimalism. All of the whitespace works quite well, especially considering this site is about content. Nice! :)

    Thanks Nyssa. That’s exactly what I had in mind when designing. How’s your site redesign going?

    Well you pulled it off nicely, I think!

    Not too well. I’ve had hardly any time for my own design lately but hopefully soon I might have something.
