Guys, howz my New blog Design?

OK guys. After a long time, and much procrastination, I have finally redesigned my blog. I am using the same WP theme (Twenty Thirteen), but I have changed the standard header into a large ad for destinationinfinity.org!! 😛 I have also changed the color of the sidebar and main-bar (below the header). The links are also blue now, in continuation with the blue-color theme I’ve chosen for this blog. Have a look at the redesigned home page.

Howz it??? Any suggestions?? Do you like it?  😀 😀

    Elegant and soft on eyes.

      Yes, blue is quite elegant. Didn’t get the color I wanted for the sidebar, but I guess this is fine too…

    It looks soothing. One recommendation on it : – the blue in your blog name, make it the same as in the blog theme. Or just mellow it down some points.

    1. Rajesh K

      Thanks for your feedback, but I spent an insane amount of time deciding on the colors, so any reworking will have to wait! Mellowing the header’s blue to some points seems to be an easier option – let me look at it.

      I agree. Make the blue in blog name match the one in blog theme.

      1. Rajesh K

        The issue is: For the sidebar background, dull/faded colors are only available. But I want a brighter color for the title/links.

    Dear Rajesh,

    Shall I be honest?

    The new design gives a very cartoonish feel to the whole website.

    The old design and theme had a mature and dignified look – the new one seems to be a very forced attempt at being hip and young.

    This is just my opinion and an honest answer!

    Best wishes,
    Mahesh

      Oh, my idea was to highlight the blog name/tag-line in a more prominent way (header), and make the theme look different to all the other Twenty Thirteen themes out there on the net!!

      I never thought a theme could convey an image of being hip and young, although now I see how that is true!! You have a valid point, but for now let me experiment with this theme for sometime – I spent a long time in designing it! I can always switch back to the earlier one, anytime i want to.

    It looks ‘different’! Let it be like this for sometime. Then if you are bored, you can always change!

    1. Rajesh K

      Yes, that’s what I was also thinking 🙂

    I liked the back and blue combo header! Not a bad design 🙂

    1. Rajesh K

      I am writing a post on the ISKCON temple visit. I will add about our visit in the end of that post. If your post comes before that, I can link it from there too 🙂

    I love the blue and black combination. Its something I would have chosen 🙂

    1. Rajesh K

      Yes, I too like blue and black. Red and black also looks good. Yet to try green and black, guess it should be good too 🙂

    This is nice DI. Much better than the previous one. The blue is soft yet vibrant.

    1. Rajesh K

      Yes, I too like blue 🙂

    Hi There, Love your new blog look… You are SO smart…. BUT–the main reason I am here today is to thank you for visiting my friend, Jeevan. I’m sure that visit meant SO much to him. He’s a great guy and can’t get around too much as you know…

    Hugs,
    Betsy

    Looks nice, but I liked the old one more 🙂

    And a suggestion : A different font for the header?

    1. Rajesh K

      I didn’t experiment with different header fonts. I liked it at first sight. Maybe I should . . . let me consider it in the future.

    The new design looks fab. Way more interesting than the earlier one.
    🙂

    1. Rajesh K

      Ha ha. The earlier one was the default theme design, and I have just changed the colors in this. That’s as much I did for “designing” 🙂
