Techie Buzz Gets A New Look
I had recently won a contest on JohnChow.com and one the prizes was a redesign for the blog to be done by Adii. Well I am happy to launch the new design today. This is pretty much what I wanted and me and Adii went over it a couple of weeks.
Converting the design to a WordPress theme was not easy but I somehow managed to pull it through making it look just like the design Adii did. I got a new tabbed content navigation this time and have ditched the earlier one I was using. This one is neat and uses JQuery.
I have tried to fit in everything into the new design and hopefully you should not see any troubles. I would definitely want to hear your opinions about the new design. I would want to tweak if further and your opinions would be the best way to do it.
Do please let me know through your comments what you think about the new design and also any changes you would like to see in it.

The feed URL on top may need some working. The colours could have been a bit brighter. Other than that, it is nice.

Lovely theme, but the ads in the middle of and in close proximity to the article are quite distracting.

Nice design looks good but somehow the link color looks dull, may be you need a bright color there

Looks incredible!
Adii did great work, as usual. Only problem I see is the search box at the very top-right in Firefox. Its hard to click in, and it is a really dark color so its hard to tell its a search box to the untrained eye.

I am on of your many feed readers. but still of course i check the site also, and this new design. well.. i can say that this is a nice design, but for $750 value design?? i don’t think so man.
I think the Unique Blog Design can do this so much better. i think this design need some more colors here. well imho

Theme is really good one, I feel you can improve the colors, they look little dull.

As a quick follow up, the right sidebar collapses in IE6 on the homepage. Looks fine on single pages. Just FYI.

I love the re-design! Nice use of grey and blue. I am not a design expert but I really think a third color could add more ‘life’ to the looks.
Love the footer layout.
