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.

Wiehanne Lounge has a blog make-over

Miss-pinkie-theme
My previous pinkie theme. The girl’s illustration is an istock image. I modified it to suit myself.

Ah yes, I’m getting bore with the previous pinkie theme and my sidebars seems to be so messy. So, I decided to have a blog make-over again! It was scheduled to be done a month ago but I just kept on delaying. :P And it was so coincidence, someone liked my previous theme and hence, I sold it as it is. Let’s called it a premade theme?

blog-redesign
Current theme.

I shall say thank you so much to my superman who made this theme alive. I designed, he listened and did his best to code this theme out according to my likeness. After this, I might design a promotional products for myself. :P

Anyway, here’s a few changes that I’ve done for the current theme:

1. I had a new girl’s illustration (that is oh-so-me) for my header. :D The Bob hair, the red bandana, the pink shirt, the Dell computer, the yellow cup, the red chair, the black mouse, that’s me and my working space at home.

2. My layout was ‘slimmed’ down, from 3 columns to 2 columns. I found it is enough for now. The overall layout is based on SimplyWP layout.

3. Notice the tabbed sidebar? I want it cause it saves space. At some point, it might look a bit weird, especially if you click on the archive and links, but whatever. The boyfriend has done his best in coding it out like what I want.

4. I have updated my links and about page.

5. I have added the contact form. You can say Hi to me but don’t spam please.

6. I have changed the blog’s description from ‘chat over a cup of tea’ to ‘life of a freelance designer’; merely because that’s best describe me and my blog. This is my lounge where I talk and rant about my freelance life. :)

If you like this theme and would like to have something like this for your WordPress blog, feel free to contact me for a custom-made theme. ;)
