JohnSzram.com Facelift

I’ve been meaning to redesign my blog for a while now and finally I got round to it! I have been tinkering in the background for a couple of days and I must say I’m really happy with the way it looks now.

I was finding it increasingly difficult to find room to include all the things that I wanted to using the two column layout, it was more difficult to navigate than I liked and there was virtually no space to include stuff “above the fold”.

However, I liked my original blog design so I’ve tried to keep it in line with that so hopefully it still retains it’s famililiar feel!

You can now see my recent posts without having to scroll, I have the ability to add more useful widgets and I’ve also got a new navbar across the top which will display links to my pages for easier access.

I’m undecided whether to keep the grey subnavbar which displays my post catagories, I’d like to hear your thoughts on that please.

I feel that the blog is more fit for purpose now but more importantly I hope you like the improvements, I’d really love to hear what you think!

    What have you done here John? :D

    I like the new look, and to me…it’s a lot ‘cleaner’. All you need now is to add a few more pages and fill them with content.

    Expect some changes coming to my blog very soon. I’ve just to decide what I want first… :P

    Thanks

    Hi Robin,
