What MOX seemed to lack was overall structure which I tackled by making the whole layout wider but then decreasing the space between the sidebar and the main post area. I then added horizontal strokes to the tops of the different magazine widgets on the main area, as well as those on the sidebar. And these strokes are what helped pull the whole structure together. Another thing that needed to be done was the usual font changes from Open Sans to a far better structured font, Saira; and then also from lowercase to uppercase on most of the titles. And finally the light turqoise on all the details certainly did not help in bringing structure to the layout, alongside being a distraction from the photpgraphs of the blog. So, that was changed to a dark gray. And speaking of the photos - those were relieved of their muddy gray overlays. The text visibility is still there however, even though they are gone - achieved through a small text shadow.
And so, what we have ended up with is a very nice magazine theme with lots of nice different titles that can be used for many different topics. The redesign can be seen on the left in the gallery above, and the original is on the right.
Important! 3rd party responsive Blogger themes have a lot of quirks that you will have to fix which come about every time that you restore a theme. So, this is not something that I can resolve with my tweak, there are some things that you, the end user, has to take care of before the theme is fully operational. To find out what these are and how to fix them, please make sure you look at the Instructions Page > > > right after you install the theme.
