With apologies to William Shakespeare. Today’s Blogging 101 assignment was to try on different themes. I finally had some free time and did just that. It wasn’t as simple as the instructions led me to believe. Interpretation: I was quickly frustrated, but I pressed on.
I looked mainly for simple, uncluttered themes and liked more than a few. The ones I didn’t care for were the busier layouts – those designed more for folks who often post photos or other types of graphics. With no artistic talent to speak of, I left those behind and narrowed my “likes” to three.
If you’re reading this you can see my new theme – Truly Minimal. I LOVED the lighthearted polka dots and the layout of Adelle, but I was having trouble with the font used for the posts. Between the font size and the way it seemed to disappear against the background, these tired old eyes were ready to rebel. When I saw how clean, crisp and readable Truly Minimal is I was hooked. I hope you like it as much as I do.
If not, it’s been nice knowing you. 😉
And if anyone knows why my emoticon won’t work in the new theme please enlighten me? Thanks!
I like your new theme but them I like minimal with a lot of white space. 🙂 I changed my theme today too. Not sure if I’ll keep it but change it good right?

Like the little bit of color and the bold titles. Good choice.

I like your theme, in the sense that without anything else going on, people can concentrate more on what you’re posting, which is after all, the main reason we have blogs in the first place. You might find my theme too busy. LOL

I love Truly Minimal – it’s what I started with. And I also am not fond of very busy themes. But I changed mine to the still-unbusy Skeptical today & think I’ll probably keep it awhile. Who knows…

I don’t remember seeing Skeptical; it’s quite nice. I may have to hold that in reserve for a future change. Thank you for stopping by and commenting. 🙂

I like your theme. It looks so clean and uncomplicated to the eyes, It makes the reader want to actually explore your blog because the theme is not very overwhelming. 🙂

Confession here: I really miss your polka dots. But I am adaptable. I can change. Just give me an “M&M” to reward my new behavior.
