Ha ha this topic was running in my mind and you actually posted it ;)
I too changed the design of most of my blogs in the past couple of days, and see no reason for that.. And its strange to see many big sites being redesigned.
Is it for just creating some buzz?
yes you are right….even I and my friends have undergone changes in their websites
LOL! Even my blog got a redesign in August :D Guess it’s a month of redesigns!
