With quite some changes…

… I am back from the dead. I was thinking hard about a make-over for this blog and this is what I came up with. So let me tell you what I’ve done so far.
Header
A lot of people I spoke to about the design, claimed that its dark header wouldn’t fit the rest of the page. Instead it would make the blog appear very technical. As you can see I changed that to a warm colored wallpaper.
Index
I’d never wanted to simply display the category, but also wanted to show a small illustrating picture next to the category title. As you can see I’ve finally managed to do so.
Posts
Even as somebody who uses bookmark services on rare occasions1, I can see the importance of these services spreading content. So please help spreading mine by using this easy share buttons.
Content
Whenever I have time, I like to relax playing games on my pc. As a new feature for now I decided to share my experiences with you by taking screenshots and putting them into my gaming gallery. I hope you will find them amusing and helpful2.
So I hope you’ll like what I’ve done with FinkAboutIt.com and visit me whenever you can. As the technical stuff is done, I now have time to provide you with some more content this week. Till then I would love to have a feedback from you about the changes I made.

Hmm, regarding the wallpaper: I think you need to pick a font color with higher contrast to the header wallpaper, or position the text lower on the sand dune, where the contrast would be higher.

@maYO, due to layout reasons I want people to read articles the way I wrote them. Let’s suppose you have
pullquotesor something like them. A feedreader might not show them correctly. Therefore, I want people to come here and see how I intended the article to be. I hope you can see the problem.Anway, thanks for your input. If I get everything to work out, I might change it. Until then – please drop by

Congrats on the new look. I’ve something for your “footer”: I don’t think you need to place that ‘login’ link as u can always bookmark it for yourself. Also ‘My latest Tweet’ seems not working.
