Site theme hacked from Blue Drop theme

It’s eh. Even if I liked it, your version isn’t really usable. The content area is tight and there’s no nav. And if you add anything to the left sidebar, it’ll cover up your static background image.

So in other words, what’s the point?

The static image is more static than you think, its fixed againts the middle of the browser window with an offset to the right, you would know this had you scrolled down, unless you are using IE.

“The content area is tight and there’s no nav.”
I prefer thinner article areas as for no navi, if I want to list categories I’ll use the widget, if I want to use pages I’ll do so likewise so exactly how is there no navigation, I assure you every single post is accessible.

“So in other words, what’s the point? “
Because I could? I liked the original blog’s text styling, background and that its, so I changed it into what I wanted and I wanted to show it off since I feel quite proud of my little hack.

PS: You’re using “eh” wrong.

I’m not trying to hate on your hard work. No doubt it takes time and creativity to do.

Nonetheless, I still don’t see how usable it can be. Keeping content narrow for the sake of extra blank colored spaces makes no sense. The ideal width for a human eye to track while reading horizontally is eight inches. Your site has it way under that by at least 25-30%.

And as for the nav, I’m only commenting on what I see, not what you’re intending to do.

Ok fair.

The width was originally something like 900px, but combining that with liberal spacing meant that, according to Google, less than eight percent of users could see it all without scrolling.

The width has slowly expanded but there is no way its going to get close to eight inches, perhaps when I can write meaningful paragraphs in Japanese. Really the biggest factor was that I wanted at least the majority of the vector icon(s) to be visible, I sacrificed a bit on that but they are still prominent.

“creativity” lol, do you like my new bright orange/yellow background?

I like the new tweaks you’ve made. The colors are a little bright for my taste but depending on your intended audience, it may be more than serviceable.

I’ll give you credit though, I haven’t seen a site quite like yours.
