Hey guys, I decided to update my theme to make it a little less cluttered and easier to read. What do you think?
A lot of the stuff in the sidebar seemed rather useless, so I got rid of everything but the bare essentials (book links, email newsletter, progress bars) and the visitor map. The header images are from my book covers–they should cycle randomly.
At first, I thought I’d keep the tag splash, but it didn’t seem to fit with the word sizes. Not sure if I should bring it back or not. And as for the categories and archives, I’m not sure whether I should keep those somewhere or just get rid of them.
I like this design a lot so far, but I think it’s kind of annoying that the tags and categories are listed at the top of the blog post, instead of at the bottom. I’ll see what I can do to change that. I don’t want to tweak the actual theme files if I can avoid it, since they seem to update every now and then and when they do, all the modifications are lost.
I’ll probably make a few minor changes over the next couple of days, until I get it where I want it. If you have any thoughts or feedback, please let me know. Thanks!
