A new year is always a good time for making changes and I decided to start over again for 2025 with an all new Blogger blog using a slightly more modern theme. But not too modern, because I think most blog themes look totally lame. In fact I'm completely repulsed by the style of most "modern" blogs.
PS - As things worked out I later decided to come back to this blog, but to convert it to purple as a work around for the formatting problems I was having. So I ended up deciding not to change to a new black blog, but instead to return to my purple roots. I hope everyone likes purple!
After a quick look around I concluded that all the more fashionable up to date themes SUCK! I realise I'm a bit old school, but to me they all look "Lame and Gay" as Eric Cartman might say.
They
are mostly bright white backgrounds with a bunch of distracting
magazine style tiled images, and plenty of adverts. I want a simple dark
look with basic menus, no distractions.
So from the start of 2025 I have swapped over and redirected the www.sift.co.nz URL to a new Sift blog, making the old 2024 blog
an archive. The hits on the old blog were so low I was starting to
wonder just what was going on with it, and it was starting to have an
increasing number of display and formatting issues, so rather than
trying to sort it out, I thought it was time for a fresh start.
As with my archived FROT blog I left the old SIFT blog
as it was, but it was looking a bit crap once it stopped displaying
the colours I selected, and was all shades of grey. With a new theme ("Awesome Inc Dark") I was aiming for something less limp
looking.
