If you’re reading this post from RSS or email, quickly head off to my actual blog right now! Yes, now!

Because I’ve just changed layout, again. Still in pink color, more pink in fact. Except this time it isn’t a custom-made theme, no time for that, but a FREEmium theme that we just released at simplyWP in conjunction to October – breast cancer awareness month.

Proudly supporting own’s product and a good cause.

If you look at the right sidebar, you’ll notice the banner of my new venture. Targeting to launch the project by the end of this year (latest), hope I can keep up with the timeline.

Oh, to keep up with the trend, this theme is also made to have a responsive layout design (available for premium version). Try resize your browser or view it in tablet/smartphone, and you’ll get to see the responsive side.

Download OctoPink WordPress theme from simplyWP or purchase the premium version at $4.99 only!

It’s been one year since the last redesign. I felt the urge to freshen up the look and keep thing simple, therefore realign instead of redesign.

• Logo: still using the same shape, except it’s no longer white-teal color filling but blackboard texture and reduce the amount of floral design.
• Menu Navigation: From top, I moved it to left sidebar. Oh, the whole left sidebar is static, only content will move as you scroll down.
• Footer: a glimpse of about me, my personal projects/start-up with awesome partners and categories.

Let’s take a time machine back to see how wiehanne.com looked like back in 2008, that’s when I started to play around with my blog design.

It was mostly dominated by pink pink pink. In 2009 I even went for a darker pink, but changed to softer pink + more white in 2010.

Portfolio page is updated as well.

P.S. It marks my 5 years of blogging with this domain name, yay!

Oh yeah, I’m bidding farewell to the 14-months-old layout and welcome the new layout design. So, what’s the new thing?

+ More white space and soft pink instead of the dark-violet-pink color scheme
+ Out with the character illustration (I no longer have a bob hair, remember?) and in with the floral illustration
+ Decided to add portfolio section to showcase the selected works that I’ve done; be it print or web
+ Add Twitter feed section on my sidebar, so you can follow my short update when I don’t blog
+ Updated my about page, though still looking for a nice profile picture to be used there

Basically the new design is all about minimalist, clean, soft, and girly. On the feature side, I am trying to show more about my expertise as a graphic + web designer. So, expect to see WordPress and design related posts in the future; after I come back from my vacation of course; aside from roadside assistance or rambling post.

Much thanks to my boy for coding this theme. If you find any bugs, please let me know.

I’ve been using this pinkie-violet theme for 14 months with last re-design on February 2009. It’s time for refreshment~! From design (my hair no longer fits the bob girl illustration on header) to about page (the info there is so outdated now).

This isn’t another simply-redesign-cause-I-am-bore-with-the-old-theme. I am pushing it to be more than just a personal blog. Yes, after using this space to rant for 4 years, I finally decide that it’s time to grow up and to integrate my expertise here. Talk about branding and changing the content’s direction; not into extenze topic but design.

Bottom line, it’s been a work-in-progress for us since last week. Brainstorming, mind-mapping, analyze and plan all over carefully, etc. It’s been a while since we really take a deep look into what we have now. We often go with the routine and forget to see the bigger picture.

Well well, the roller-coaster ride has began! Time to grow and push the business further before we start on something new.

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.

• 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.
• 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
