work begins on my new theme

I have finally begun working on my new theme for this blog, if you were on my blog last Saturday night around 2am you may have seen the early version of the new theme.

I activated it temporarily just so I could see how images on my blog post would be affected and a few other parts that I want to change in it. I bought the theme from ThemeForest, I have bought themes from that site before, and they are good quality so I don’t mind paying a bit for them.

Now though I am in the process of setting up wordpress on another domain so I can edit the new theme without it affecting anyone who is visiting my blog because when I am editing I might break something when I am adding things into the theme!

The theme itself is very different from my current theme; it is in fact completely different in terms of colours. This current theme is dark, and the content seems very squashed. In my new theme the colours are much brighter and there is a lot more space for the content, the blog itself will be much wider in width and should be very lightweight which will help boost the blogs load speed.

I am undecided if I will be keeping my current logo for this blog, it looks great but I am not sure if it will suit the new theme, and I think it is about time I got a new one. The current logo is made by LogoNerds, I am not sure how much I paid for it when I got it, it wasn’t a lot, so I might try and either make my own new one or get another one made.

When I put out my new theme I am going to update my list of bloggers in the sidebar, there is a few blogs I have started to read lately so I think I should add some new links, to show some support .
