Welcome to the redesigned site!
I created this new layout from scratch, starting with a photoshop mock up and turning it into a WordPress theme. Hope you like it.
In addition to the layout changes, there have also been some minor changes made to the site including:
- Change of base URL from blog.praj.com.au to www.praj.com.au
- All permalinks are now directly off the base URL (no more /posts/<article_name>).
- I’ve set up redirection to point old posts to their correct new links.
- Change of name from praj’s blog to praj’s site.
Let me know what you think of the new site.
Very nice Praj. I like your use of drop shadows. Love the little Simpson-esque cartoon too. You’ve inspired me to get a move-on with my redesign.

Hi Praj, Not a massive fan of ‘brown’ as a theme but this seems to work quite well, balanced with the whitespace. One thing: I like to be able to click on the ‘title’ or banner (I guess for your site it would be ‘praj’s site,’ or your avatar) to get to the blogs Home screen. Seems to be a fairly standard design thingy that I’ve gotten used to
Cheers,
Ben.

Good pick up, thanks Ben. I’ve made the whole header image a link that goes back to the main page. Easy to miss these things, its amazing how useful comments are AFTER you deploy your site.
