So it turns out I didn't like the mustard yellow and steel blue design that I created a couple weeks ago. It just didn't sit well with me, and if I look back over my design history the designs that have stuck over the years are invariably grey with a splash of colour.Problem was, I didn't really know how I was going to redesign the site. Then, one day, I was talking with Sven via email and I visited his blog (also running Pure Blog for the record 🎉), and I immediately knew that was the kind of design I was looking for. It's simplicity is just lovely, and so easy to read.So I set about making my own version of Sven's lovely design. I didn't want it to be exactly the same as his, but I also didn't think my design would turn out quite as close to his as it did - I suppose that goes to show how much I like his site. :-)I've spoken to Sven and he's good with me effectively copying his design.For posterity (as I'm likely to change it again in the future) here's what the design currently looks like:I'm still not 100% sold on the font (but it is growing on me), and I'm not sure about the yellow in the header, but blue everywhere else. So I may change a couple of things subtly. Having said all that, overall I'm the happiest with the design I've been since moving to Pure Blog.Finally I'd like to thank Sven for allowing me to steal his wonderful design.What do you guys think?
