№ 216. The Museum got redesigned

You’ve probably have noticed already, but I’m writing this post to announce feed subscribers. And especially to properly give the due credits for the things I used during the process.
I won’t say anything on the blog’s new look and feel (you can see it and feel it for yourself). I know it’s a little kitsch and strident, and still needs some fixes (especially when it comes to small details that make the substance of a design), but I decided to activate anyway. Mainly because I’ve been told that, with some uncalibrated monitors, the posts displayed by the old theme were almost unreadible. So here we go.
If you want to take a last look at the old design, here’s a little image. If I’m not too busy, I’ll release it as a free theme.

I should also say that I’m tempted to inaugurate the alpha version of this blog and post more often 9at least finish the drafts). Actually the new theme is called Muse, and it’s supposed to inspire me pressing the “publish” button.
