A new year is always a good time for making changes and I have 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 make it purple as a work around for the formatting problems. 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 this 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 have left the old SIFT blog
as it was, but it's looking a bit crap now that it's stopped displaying
the colours I selected, and is all shades of grey. With the new theme
on this blog ("Awesome Inc Dark") I'm aiming for something less limp
looking, and fingers crossed it will keep on behaving itself.
