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?

Note: We discourage users from using keywords in their names while posting comments, most of them get caught by spam, also it really would be more fruitful in knowing people who comment by their real name, rather than by using a name no one relates to. In future we reserve the right to delete comments from users using a name other than their own.
