Since I had a little spare time, I decided it was time to update the look of the blog. I call the color scheme "Orange Cream Blues". I went with it for a few reasons. First, I like dreamsicles and hadn't used orange for anything before, and I thought it went nicely with the dark blue (complimentary colors on the color wheel, even!).

The second reason is a longer story but I'll keep it short. I Googled around a lot looking for nice CSS skins. And even though there are lots of free CSS template sites out there, most of the layouts didn't strike me as very nice. I wanted a liquid layout, as I always feel like fixed-width sites are wasting my screen space. I wanted something clean yet modern. Probably all the standard desires nowadays. Anyway, the only one I could find was the Arclite theme, which as some of you may know is already in use on a number of other blogs. Since I was jumping on the bandwagon in this respect, I decided to tweak the layout a bit and to create a custom color scheme and graphics to avoid looking like everyone else. Hopefully, I succeeded (at least a little).

In any event, more blog entries are in the works, so stay tuned. And I hope you find the new look refreshing.
