“Your people will judge you on what you build, not what you destroy”, said the US President. But sometimes, to create, one had to destroy – for instance, his blog’s old design. Now came the difficult part. He hoped that in the two most important sections, there’d still be something good enough to write – Home, About.
until next time, whatcha think of the revamp?

Like this brand new theme. But is it possible to reduce the *Manuscrypts* image. It look tab bit bigger than required!
Rest is fab. +1 on that!

It is nice. you keep changing and reinveting yourself, while I remain in the same old template.
“Oops. Wrong page.”
Don’t like it as much as the older one
…well I am partial to black and red so… 
neat and clean…
Nicer.
I prefer this one.. have always preferred Whites
also any specific reason you kept the text on the header image? what theme are you using can always be mentioned at the footer of the page.
The new design feels a little tighter.. I like the old one better. This looks like a normal wordpress.com blog, the old one had a better feel to it.. +1 to Gaurav’s point black n red are your colours man.. why change?
PS: Just noticed the header keep changing cool =)
nice it is.but also had a er..wrong page moment
my blog is also clamouring for change. its my blogs fifth year happy birthday tomorrow.
Topping! that panorama pic looks oddly familiar
I donno, I liked the dark version. Suited you :p
I like the white so much better. Manu times over. For one, ‘Heroes’ stays ‘Heroes’ and doesn’t mutate into anything communicable.
I second Mr.Swain on the ‘M’ in the masthead, though. Could do away with it, even. Since it already hovers king size over the ‘About’ just below.

All change eventually gets accepted even if grudgingly.
The last template took into account that a vast majority of your readers is used to scan-reading left to right. That assumption is used in most blog templates even the flexible ones. The presence of a third left column stands in the way of that scanning (come on, you are a branding guy; surely you know how ads etc are designed for maximum impact!). The last one was visually more appealing too because the use of colour was clever and bold. But who am I to say? Your blog, your choice. Those who do not like it can always stop reading
That _is_ Acropolis in front of you, isn’t it? Hmm.
the header picture keeps changing? that’s the only wow factor here…
i liked the old one better, but never mind me….its your blog

I thought the earlier design was sleeker, one of the best I’ve ever seen in fact. But I do like the customization on the ‘M with pointy tail’ logo now with the feed curves on the side. It’s really cool.
Love it!!
The earlier one was super !! I mean, that was real cool. This is ok !
down with change and progress… revert to the old format. this 1′s not easy on d eye
sampad: i got bored of it in a bout half a day, so changed the entire theme, you were one of the few who saw it
arunima: i reinvented in half a day again.. too fast
and whats keeping you from changing your design, other than laziness? huh? huh? :p
gauri: hmm, wonder why that happened
gourav: me too, but bored too
~nm, austere: thanks
kunal: ..and changed
balu: didnt find a nice enough red and black theme.. let’s see.. maybe i shall find one in a while
cynic: lets hope it doesnt happen again..er, the wrong page, that is
naren: not sure if you mean the default ones.. the current lot are the ones i’ve shot (or have been shot at
)
rads: me? haha, and i thought the blog was more persona than person
navneet: mr.swain saw a different template.. have taken the logo off anyway.. and yes, thats me…
shefaly: er, none of that stuff on the previous template was by (my) design.. and erm, i dont involve my brand understanding in most of my life outside of work.. like you said, if people like, they read, if not, they dont…and yes, that is acropolis..
suma: now i’m wondering if there was a wow factor in the earlier one? maybe i was seeing it too many times, and just got bored
nikhil: ah, yes, you also have it!! the perils of Reader reading
smitheee, i had that 2.0 idea for sometime, couldnt do it myself, so balu helped me out.. like i said, i just got bored with the old design
Stone: thanks
Kavi: noted
srini: this one looked easier to me!!
