New Design, More Content

Gray’s Blog has never really had enough ‘oomph’-if you will-to keep the visitors on the site for an extended amount of time. You come, you read, you don’t subscribe, and your gone. Enough of that. Gray’s Blog has taken it up a notch (or two) and did a huge makeover.

Gray

Hello! My name is Gray Adams and I am a self-taught web-developer. I work mostly in WordPress, CSS, and PHP and enjoy blogging. I have two YouTube accounts one dedicated to tutorials while the other comedy. If you find my posts at all interesting and you want to know when a new one comes out, feel free to subscribe via RSS or Email.

So you changed the design?

Here are just a few highlights of the new design:

  • Main titles are always smooth (built-in text smoother)
  • Hit counter is now displayed on the right
  • Thumbnails are now displayed on nearly every page
  • Popular posts and recent comments are displayed on the top right
  • Search results take up less space individually
  • Post links stand out more
  • Categories are listed that the top (now with child categories)
  • On the subject of new:

    There are also a few new features such as: the Artist Spotlight where my favorite artist of the month is displayed along with 8 of their photos, FeedBurner email subscription which requires no registration, commenting on most posts, and anti-spam measures (CAPTCHA).

    What to expect in the near future

  • More posts
  • Slight tweaks in the design
  • Faster load speed
  • More ways to bring the community together
  • Glances at the new design.
