Although I hate to upgrade (the most tedious job), but I have no choice to do so. I suspect my blog has been infected by some spyware. I even cannot enter to the main page when I try to access today’s afternoon.

After some research and analyze, I found that although my old wordpress theme has harmonic color, it does not optimize for my ads as well as not user friendly enough on those add on features due to 2 columns theme. So in this new theme, I’ve decided to use 3 columns theme that can fit more add on features in my blog without wasting too much space. If you could compare the screenshot of my old theme vs new theme below, the first post position has been bring up 50% more than the old theme (about 150px up) which let my reader find my post easier to read.
