Re-Designed: TrendMag

June 23, 2022
A very nice, functional grid theme that has the wonderful feature of being able to display both text only posts as well as image posts. On the original template there is an image behind the header and I wanted to keep that, just replace the image - but also, quite importantly - I wanted to make the header area higher and have the image go to the …

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: Quotes

June 23, 2022
If it weren't for one tiny thorn in my side I would hail the merits of this theme from the rooftops. That tiny thorn is that fat little quotation mark (which is actually a fontawesome unicode) that I have not been able to replace no matter what I did. That said, this is a wonderful masonry grid theme that does that very rare thing - it allo…

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: OmViral

June 16, 2022
With most of these I seem to have developed a routine strategy. The first thing that I usually do is make the whole thing wider. The second is to eliminate all of the muddy overlays on all the featured post gadgets and sliders. And then, once those basic things are taken care of I work on the details, which is colors and typography. So, I chan…

Re-Designed: Pebbles

June 14, 2022
I am usually confident that what I have tweaked will work with no problems, and I put it on this site with that assurance. This is not due to my competence but rather it is due to the skill of the original template creator who has put together something that works flawlessly, which I only tweak. Pebbles is not like that. I am still putting it he…

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: November

June 09, 2022
It will be easier to show you this template with a video rather than screenshots since the slider animation at the top is important and also this is a really long page. The first video below shows you what it ended up becoming after my tweak and the second is the "before state. What I did was a lot of typographic adjustments, everything els…

Re-Designed: X-Max

June 09, 2022
This is another template that will be easier to show with a video rather than screenshots since this is one long page in which there is a parallax scroll effect that does need to be seen in motion. The first video below shows you what it ended up becoming after my tweak and the second is the "before" state. What I did was a lot of typo…

Re-Designed: The Backpack theme

March 16, 2022
Once you eliminate all the menus (there is an overabundance of them - 4 alone on the header!), all the little images and the overpowering logo, and also all the rounded images on the sidebar; what emerges is one of the most elegant blogger themes that one could ever hope for. I also changed the typographic elements so that they became more consist…

Re-Designed: Instaset

March 03, 2022
What I did here was mostly font changes, but these were some prety major ones. I replaced the condensed font that the original creator had used with one that I know from experience looks cleaner on the screen. So, what used to be Archivio Narrow became Oswald. I greatly reduced the size of the header logo. And then, I eliminated a lot of colors an…
