After mulling it over for a few days, I decided to change the theme on the blog. I’m rolling with WordPress’s new Twenty Fourteen theme because it is, after all, 2014 now. I think it’s time for a new look.
I was a little hesitant since the description billed it as a “magazine” theme and I’m very obviously running a blog here but after trying it out for a while, I think it’ll still do the job I want it to do. It has the clean and minimalist lines that I appreciated from my previous theme, Coraline, which is good. I also like the way it uses its space differently. It feels more airy and open to me. The tight column that Coraline used for its arrangement was starting to feel cramped.
Do you like the change? Let me know what you think, although I should note that I’m still going to do whatever I want, regardless of feedback. I’m just selfish like that.
Personally, I don’t care for the black edging, but it’s relatively easy to ignore. (Looks better on iPad, though.) It’s fresher, that’s for sure.
Yeah, the default color scheme with the black edge was my least favorite aspect of the theme. The only way to have control over the color scheme is to shell out money, which I’m not keen to do. I’m glad the layout itself looks fresh, though. It’s funny how quickly design can look dated when it comes to the Internet.
