This has long been overdue but we’ve finally moved on to a new blog design. For the past 2 and a half years, since the last reboot and move to WordPress, this blog had sported the heavily-modified Connections theme, prolly the most kick-ass opensource theme of that time.
Today, after about 7 months of sluggish progress, I present you the new YugaTech theme. This 3-column design was inspired by K2 and GlossyBlue themes.
I’ve also changed the permalink structure of the site so apologies if you’ve been getting errors from the old theme. I’m hoping to stick to this theme for a very long time so start getting used to it. I’m still fixing that { more } tag in the full feeds so those who are reading this form their feed readers, please bear with me.
As usual, this is a work in progress. Please do send some comments if you see some bugs or if previous plugins don’t seem to work now. Comments and suggestions are very much welcomed. Cheers!
My first reaction was wow! I love neat themes and clean lines on layouts. I am envious! Kudos!
Nice! I like it.
definitely much better than your first theme. the “barber lightpost” on the side is an eye candy, and the tiles on the comment section gives it a homie feeling.
nice. nice.
huwaw! ganda at ang lambot!

Theme looks good, except for the stripes! Hard on the eyes!
Thanks, everyone, for the comments! I think it was well worth the long wait.
As for the stripes, I’m looking to change that as well as the logo.
@ Manuel – yup, that was one consideration I heavily gambled on. Hope the long term effect is on the positive side.
@ Nick – I’m searching for that FB plugin to fix it. Sorry for the temporary inconvenience.
@ elmer – it’s a cell tower. hahaha!
@ wites – more tweaks pa yan men!

All I can say is, “It’s about time!” Hehe
Love the new theme, although I kinda think the stripe background doesn’t go well with the overall design. I dunno, maybe it’s just me. But all in all, great job Abe!
The color reminds me of your old website Redshift.
Wow!! I like the header the most. Nakakapanibago, shet. I’m predicting that you will eventually change the “hypnotic barber lightpost slanted stripes background”.
After staring at it for a few minutes, the hidden subliminal message finally got into me!! – Abe is the most influential blogging overlord godfather.
kewl, the stripes are hypnotic
Wonderful new theme, the stripes are just perfect if you ask me.
You might wish to consider adjusting your meta description tag, Abe. Since it’s blank for all your posts, your posts might appear like duplicates.
Anyway, here’s a good page on how to adjust a WordPress theme:

Thanks for the link. Still busy tweaking a lot of the CSS codes. There are still bugs to be fixed.
Must…drop…stripes!
How about making the stripes really small. Like Friendster’s?
i love the logo! simple but very nice
wow! masmalinis tignan abe
this is a truly nice design… i like it…
Sa wakaasss!!! Looks great!
Body text is too SMALL. Striped background is annoying especially when the container color of white hasn’t loaded yet.
Please make text at least 2 points larger.
Refreshing! Stripes are a bit off (never thought of you to be the type, hehe) and I’m sort of missing the blog blurb on the header but over-all the site looks fab! I particularly like the Yugatech font.
Thanks for the feedback everyone! I’m scouting for a nice replacement background.
