Website re-designed (yet again)

It wasn’t that long ago that I changed the overall look and style of my website (read Website re-designed 8th Jan 2008) and 19 days later, I change my site yet again.

Website re-designed

Today I decided to give my blog a much needed face lift and because I usually spend more time designing layouts for sites other than my own personal site, I decided to grab a template from the Wordpress Theme Viewer site.

‘Where is your blog?’
I guess that because I usually keep my personal thoughts seperate from the internet, I have never really needed to blog events or interesting things that happen in my life.
