Stephen Fung DOT NET Gets a Makeover!
Posted by Stephen on
May 5, 2008
I’ve pretty much been using the same theme since my very first post on this blog. Although it was, and still is, one of the most advanced themes for Wordpress, its design was definitely starting to become dated. Also, as time passed, I found it to be less and less inviting. So for 2008, not only do I get a fashion makeover, but my blog also gets the makeover treatment!
I’m still working through some bugs and adding in features that I would like carried over from the old design, but things are progressing pretty smoothly. So what do you guys think?

As I said in the other comment, I’m not digging the laminate flooring.

Panda habitat perhaps? Lots of bamboo to hide behind and throw rocks? =)
Try fixing the background instead of scrolling with. I think that might make it cooler, and not so crazy when you scroll up and down fast.
Giving it a try now. How does it look?
Fixed background is definitely an improvement.

What’s with that laminated wood background? It’s not screaming dot com lifestyle. Other than that, it looks good.

I take it you DotComMogul’s use marble flooring huh?

Marble floors hurt electronics. Laminate provides a bit of give in case your laptop hits the floor. Food for thought.
I like the new theme! The wood will take a little getting used to, but it looks good!

I fell in love with the wood right away. It’s warm, inviting, and reminds me of my floor at home
Looks good Stephen, very clean. The wood is different but it makes your blog stand out! haha. Try resizing that Twitter logo a bit…

Yeah, I’m still thinking about what to do in that corner of the blog. I’ll have to step back and think about it. I’ve been working on this thing non-stop for a day.

Socialize with me? Haha…
On a side note, isn’t it weird for you to switch to Gravatars but not have one yourself?

Made you look didn’t I!
I’m sure I’ll get around to it shortly. It hasn’t been a priority. Trying to hack a template when you know very little is a bit of a daunting task. First on the list is FINALLY getting a proper nights sleep

The new makeover looks excellent! Where were you able to find this design?

Mag On Wood 1.0 by ChiQ Montes
You can Google it. I found it at 3 AM in the morning so I’m a little foggy on the details. I probably snagged it at one of the free theme places. However, I just looked at the original screenshot, and based on how I renovated this template, it only looks loosely based on it now
Nice theme and a total makeover from Dot Com Lifestyle theme and becoming relax lifestyle with the woody background
Nice theme!
Like the new theme, the wood look made me feel like I was sitting at home in my office working. Now I’ll have to stay on your site all day so I can block out the fact that I am really at work.
I didn’t see it with the background scrolling but I would have to imagine that it is much better with it fixed. Congrats on the redesign!
That was my thought exactly. It’s home no matter where I happen to be, whether I’m in Taipei, or HK, or Las Vegas or anywhere else for that matter. When I come to my blog to…umm…blog…it’s my happy place
Totally digging the new look, and I actually like the hardwood floors… I’m sure it looks better than shag carpeting would
Shawn Knights last blog post..If The Economy Is In Such Bad Shape…
Thanks! Nah, i don’t think shag would have the same effect. I just wish I was faster at figuring out all this code BS. It took me two days to strip and customize this theme. The only thing that stayed the same was the right hand ad spot and the wood panelling.
I like the wood theme and rounded corners. The Twitter logo didn’t catch my eye at first, however.
Yeah, I’m still working on the social logos. I’ll have to come back to it later. This design took me two full days to properly modify and hack to suit my needs. However, I do like the wood. It definitely has a calming affect that I like.
