Upgrade Wordpress Theme and Wordpress 2.3.1

Tuesday, December 11th, 2007

If you did follow my posts, I might looks like slowing down on posting on these few weeks. But I am actually not! I am working very hard to customized my new theme based on Soveryn 1.0 and upgrade my wordpress to version 2.3.1 at once. This is really a painful experience, because so many scripts and plugins need to test. Furthermore, to customized a new theme that fit my need is not easy. I have high requirement for my blog design since I started to blog.

Why upgrade new Wordpress Theme?

This is really a good question that you may ask. 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. Most ads and add ons are on the right sidebars, which is easier to maintain and alocate due to have 2 sidebar. This means you could access to these features faster and easier compare to my last theme design. In overall, I would say my new theme looks simple, compact, tidy and user friendly! :) Do you like my new theme design?

I think it is a must to upgrade wordpress theme to prove that I am growing in the blogsphere :)
