Welcome to the New Design

Dec 07, 2009 843 Comments

After 3 years of using my Phoenix theme for this site, I finally redesigned it. I actually rebuild the entire site (both frontend and database) using the latest WordPress 2.8. So you may notice that some of the old content and  comments are removed (I apologize if I have deleted your comments). I will write a detailed design process about this redesign soon. Meanwhile, let me know what do you think of the redesign. If you find any bugs, please report them to me. Finally, I would like to thank everyone who provided me with feedbacks and suggestions via twitter @nickla during my redesign process. Big thanks to everyone!
