First Anniversary - New Redesign

October 12th, 2004

Notice anything different? Yep, a brand new look. I was really not liking the previous design. I tried too hard, and it didn’t come out the way I wanted. I’ve realized that I just don’t have a knack when it comes to graphical layouts. So I decided to stick with what I’m good at; keeping it simple, sleek, and neat. It only took me 4 hours to put together. There’s a few things I still need to go over, but this should be the final look of things from here on out.

Good Blimey! is now 1 years old (it was started on October 5th, 2003.) In a year, I’ve learned a ton, especially when it comes to design, met a lot of great friends online, and discovered that breakdancing midgets is a scary sight, indeed.

For this theme, I decided to give it a lighter, more humorous feel. I’m a person full of silliness and laughs, why not embody that in my own personal blog? The colors are soothing, and there is plenty of whitespace to ensure easy reading.

I hope you like it too. Any feedback is welcome.

    I like it, uh-lot (Dumb and Dumber). Above all, it’s soothing to the eyes thanks to the awesome color scheme and what can I say, it works. Congratulations on your one year anniversary! Go celebrate.

    Thanks Erik, I appreciate the kind words. I love the Dumb & Dumber reference, one of my favorite comedies of all time. I must’ve seen that movie over a hundred times. I wish I was kidding, but I’m serious. I didn’t care much for the prequel that came out not long ago, though. Glad you like the new design. :D

    I’d much rather watch the movie Ishtar or even Shaq’s Shazam than that awful Dumb and Dumber prequel.
