chic-blogspot-themeFeel free to browse through my portfolio, which contains selection of works that I did under simplyWP (for web design) and during the early freelancing period (for print graphic design). Girly chic is my design style, though I'm flexible most of the time.

New look but still in pink

I’ve been wanting to get rid of the Christmas header since last month. But, there is always a reason that hold me from doing so. Let’s not get into the cliche reasons.

Here’s the previous theme with Christmas header.

Here’s the current one, still in pink with slightly purple background color, but more elegant and clean – not just the design but also the code. Thanks to my dearest boyfriend for doing such a great job with the coding. :D

  • Maintain the layout to be in 2 columns only
  • Still use the vector illustration of a woman with PC (represents me and also icon for this blog) with small revisions such as: change the skin color, change the eyebrow’s shape, change shirt’s color. Others remain the same as I still use Dell PC and the red office chair. :P
  • Clean up sidebar and throw away unnecessary items such as: mybloglog and blogcatalog readers widget, alexa widget, recent posts
  • Add ‘about her’ section at sidebar
  • Still thinking whether I should put back Adgitize thing or not

    I like the purple better as well. I should point out thought, recent posts is great for SEO as well as the readers navigation.

      Hi Dennis, glad to see you here. :D About the recent post, yea, I realize that but it doesn’t seem to be a good practice in this blog, hence I put it away. But, we’ll see how it goes though.

      • Dennis Edell says:

        Interesting. May I ask what drew you to that conclusion?

        • wiehanne says:

          Well, I think people will click one of the recent post if the title is interesting (sth like that). And.. I’m not good in giving my post title. :P So yeah, that’s the reason. Besides that, users can click on the header/home if they want to see the latest update.
