It was around this time last year that I started to contemplate a major update to my blog that lead to the current incarnation with 4 switchable themes. By large I was quite satisfied with the result. Of course there is always room for improvement, and now looking back these rooms are actually huge! So I am thinking it’s time to lay out the plan for this year. It will not be a major overhaul like last year because let’s be honest, I have forgotten pretty much everything I learned about CSS last year. It will take some time to get back into the game!
Here’s what I think so far:

1) Apple theme need to be updated: not my choice, but as you know Apple had updated the looks of quite a few of their products, I have no choice but to keep up with the design.

2) Wizard theme need a do-over: It was the first theme I did last year, so you can see it’s a little rough compared to the others. The style was there but the final product just doesn’t looks right. I need a new direction on this.

3) add a brand new theme: You probably noticed each theme represented something I like, and there is one thing missing from the line-up. It’s time to add it in!

4) reduce load time: This past year the blog looks great with these 4 themes, but there are too much clutters and it takes forever to load comparing to the old theme from 2006. I will try to cut down the clutter and the images, and apply some new techniques to optimize load time.

Once again I envision this as a long-term project for a few months, hopefully it will fuel a new life into the blog.
