+961 getting new outfit!

Just started to install a new theme on the blog… hope nothing goes wrong!

Update:

I am almost done, everything went fine except for some compatibilty issues with Internet Explorer (I HATE IT!).
The main advantage of this theme is the 3 tabbed widgets to the right (Recent posts, Recent comments, and Archives), and they appear normally in Firefox, however I noticed they’re appearing under each other in Internet Explorer. I promise I will work on fixing it by tonight.

I will also restore the missing widgets (Beirut photos & Eyes of Lebanon) later today.

Still, I’d love to have your feedback, what do you think about the new theme? Anything to improve?

Update 2:

Woohoo! I fixed the tabbed widgets! They’re working fine on Internet Explorer now.
The contact is now gone for a while since its background doesn’t match the new theme. Gotta go find a better one.

Update 3:

Be careful what colors you choose next time you plan the change your website theme, I just got a question asking if I am a aounist since the color of “961” in the header above is orange!!

    congrats.

    well maybe you should change the color of the text that is a link.
    to make it standout.. make it a bit darker.

    it is confusing somehow.. when you provide link and the link doesn’t stand out.

    otherwise, it is clean and classy
    if i find something else, i will let you know 🙂

    sorry for the double post
    but if you can also provide a link to commenting at the end of the post
    it is after I read that i feel like replying 😛
    and it is annoying or less-comment-friendly to have to scroll up and find the comment link

    @Jester
    Thanks! 3a2beil il 3ayzin 😀

    @mir
    Thanks for the commenting tip, I’ll modify it as soon as possible.
    As for the links issue, I have noticed it and will change the css sheet accordingly.

    honest? it could be better! i really like your blog’s content. but the layout is a bit poor. if you match it with a great layout, it can really become a source people go to more often.

    @Liliane
    Thanks for being honest, I actually look for such opinions.
    But can you please let me know which items can be enhanced?
    (Colors? removing one of the sidebars? headers? etc..)

    I appreciate if any of the readers can give me a good source for WordPress templates.

    Your ‘Recent Posts’ tab are always behind by one post.

    I personally prefer the old layout since it used eye-soothing colours and easy-to-read font. I feel this new layout is a bit cluttered. That’s my preference of course, but from a UI design guideline’s view I see that this layout does not break any of the usability heuristics.
