Re-Designed: Faster

June 23, 2022
After toning it down in all kinds of ways - from eliminating the bright yellow details to reducing the font weights and making them uppercase - this has turned out to be a fabulous portfolio theme brought to us by Blossom Themes, who to do them justice have not put any hidden ad traps into this one. All pretty straightforward in that regard. A…

Re-Designed: PhotoMag

June 16, 2022
This is one beauty of a photography blog theme, perfect for all types of portfolios. There is one problem with it however that I do have to alert prospective users to: You have to sometimes reload it in order to get the top header bar to work properly. There are situations where all you get is a very narrow bar at the top into which the logo bar…

Re-Designed: Kate

There is a rather bad habit that many theme creators have and that is putting a dark overlay on top of photos. There is a reasoning for that, of course - they want to ensure that the texts that get put on top of these images can be read. But, the result is usually a muddy disaster. In my estimation it would be wiser to trust the end user to choo…

Re-Designed: EvoNews

June 10, 2022
"It's own mother wouldn't recognize it" pretty much describes this one, once I was done with tweaking it. What didn't I change? Everything pretty much. And what came out is actually a very nice 2 column grid portfolio theme. There are a lot of really nice details that the original creator made, such as the archive widget wh…

Re-Designed: Minimal

June 10, 2022
The biggest change that I made on this theme was changing the padding of the post thumbnails on the main feed so that they join each other. This padding can be changed to something wider and there are instructions in the package on how to do that. I also eliminated the sidebar and made the post area wider. And then, there were of course the many…

Re-Designed: Journey

May 18, 2022
Journey is the theme that got me onto this hobby of theme tweaking years ago when I felt that I absolutely had to use this theme for my personal blog but then there were so many problems that I felt had to be fixed. That is when I first stumbled into the blogger HTML editor, not knowing anything about code editing, outside of having changed a few …

Re-Designed: Saara Fashion

May 17, 2022
Once it is brightened up, this is one of the nicest "festured posts" slider themes that I have come across in a while. The big tweak involved deleting the gray overlay on the slider. And once I figured out how to do that the beauty of the thing really came out. One thing about the slider though: The way you will see the featured post ima…

Re-Designed: Mago

April 04, 2022
With this one I made a pretty big structural change. In the original the featured post image at the top is confined to a single column. I stretched the image across the layout. This made the post title and summary drop below it which turned out to be a good typographic solution. And then, as I do with most of these themes I broadened the layout.…

Re-Designed: ProMag

March 21, 2022
This is a very nice magazine theme with lots of different featured post boxes for different categories that are all styled differently, a thumbnail silder at the top, and another slider for the main featured posts. My job was the usual stuff: Deleting color details, changing fonts from a rather hefty slab serif to a sans font (Barlow) that has a …

Mini Tweaked Home Page Mini Tweaked Post Page Mini Original Home Page Mini Original Post Page The first thing that needed to be tackled with Mini was to clean up the visual material, which meant eliminating the grey overlays that the original creator had placed on pretty much everything from homepage thumbnails to post header images.

Re-Designed: Simplify

February 05, 2022
There are only 2 things that I changed on this: The first was a problem on the header in that for some reason the original creator (who I think is actually Blossom Themes , although this is listed under the colorlib theme portal) had left the area that is designated for the logo very narrow. And then I also changed the font of the logo. The second …

Re-Designed: MiniMag

January 17, 2022
MiniMag is one of the nicest, user friendliest blogger themes out there - once you have done the (in my estimation) required tweaks. These involved eliminating color, and changing a lot of the typography. I changed the font that the original creator had used to Montserrat which I think is one of the best fonts to use for these themes - provided it…
