Re-Designed: Nuri

July 23, 2022
Although the original template looked a bit confusing, as I worked on "Nuri", I liked it so much that I ended up making 2 versions of it. One version has an image background, and in the download folder there are a few more backgrounds to choose from. If you want to change the image that is currently on the theme with one of these, or ind…

Re-Designed: Fabulous

June 28, 2022
What seems to have happened here is that what is actually a very good structure had become overwhelmed by a lot of finnicky details, starting with a rather flamboyant background image and continuing with a diamond type png overlay on two colored areas on the header - a pink one for links and a green one for the search area. This search area also …

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: 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: Grider

June 14, 2022
When I first looked at 'Grider' I wasn't at all sure that tweaking this would be worth it - it looked so desolate. In the event I am glad that I did it because I now like it quite a bit. It took me a very long time to get the background image to work and those who want to use this tweak with their own backgrounds should be aware that…

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: Straight

May 15, 2022
Once the rather distracting background was replaced with a neutral gradient and the width of the masonry grid, as well as the post page were extended, this has turned out to be a very good theme to show design work and photographs. I made 2 versions of this, one has a menu on top and the other doesn't. This menu has to be configured from insid…

Re-Designed: Sprinx

April 06, 2022
Sprinx is a 2 column masonry blog whose main feature are the different colored post backgrounds on the home page. Quite a nice idea, except that the whole thing was lacking hierachy and structure because of some bad typographic desicions that the original craator had made: Wrong sizes, wrong font weights, and ultimately what I also consider to be…

Re-Designed: The Shutter Theme

April 03, 2022
Shutter is a beauty of a template with infinite scrolling and a huge top slider that was created by Blossom Themes > > > where one can still see it on their test templates list. However finding the XML file for it is pretty much impossible nowadays. Thankfully, I downloaded it while it was still around, and now decided to take a whack at …

Re-Designed: Trendy Sidebar

April 02, 2022
When you rollover the screnshots below you will see that this is one theme that I have really changed. For one thing, instead of having the content lean up to the left sidebar, I spread it across the entire surface. This is a responsive masonry theme and when you shrink the browser, things automatically realign themselves to fit. So, I see no reas…

Re-Designed: The Expose theme

April 01, 2022
Here I had to do quite a bit of cleanup work on what is actually a very nice template. The issue is that you really cannot have any of the "recent post" widgets and so on, that the original author put on the layout tab since they scramble up the grid. I removed all of them from the layout panel, however this does not mean that you will n…

Re-Designing the Blogger Default Emporio Theme to make a simple grid

January 27, 2022
This is something that I made out of the Emporio theme that you can find under the default Blogger themes. I just wanted a very simple, no frills grid with nice big thumbnails on the main blog feed and big images on the post pages, wtihout that very unpleasant looking blur effect that the default theme has on top of them. But, what I really want…
