The re-design is finally here!
Wow! I’ve been working with WordPress for over a year now, and it has taken me for a wild ride. The funny thing is that I haven’t even been using WordPress on my old portfolio! Shame on me, I know… So after I finished up my latest theme for WooThemes, I was left with a bit of time on my hands.
Previous draft
Now this website has been in the running for some time now, but after my failed attempt at getting my previous design online, frankly because I got bored of it, I thought I would follow in Adii’s footsteps (my WooThemes partner) and do a redesign that would not take more than a couple of days. And well behold, 24 hours later I had my new design designed and coded.
I also got it up and running on WP 2.7 Beta 2, which looks amazing, and hasn’t posed any trouble yet! The launch of the final has been delayed a couple of weeks, but you can upgrade from within the dashboard now, so it should be a breeze.
I want to give credit to the amazing function icon set and twitter icon from Liam McKay! I kinda went overboard with them on this design

Looking sweet bro!
Really digging the new design and I think it’s even cooler, considering that you have pushed it out in 24 hours. Only question: where is that lifestream?

I’m yet to upgrade to 2.7 but the screenshots look really good. Resdesign is looking good Magnus, the only thing that I don’t like are the chunky arrows on the categories/archives lists.
Loving the twitter box ^^^ up there.
Well done flash.

test?

Yup it works
Nice redesign, clean and highly ledgible. Beautifully soft n subtle ( especially like the shadows on your bullets, nice touch )

Actually one gripe … went to follow you on Twitter but there’s no clear link, can get it by clicking through the “posted ago” link but folks are lazy so might be worth including one.

Awesome re-design man! I absolutely love your work.

Great work Magnus. A huge improvement and definitely portrays what you are capable of better!

I think your test worked. This is a pretty nice design. Keep it up!

Thanks everybody!
@devolved – You are right and I’m thinking of the best solution
@adii – I’ll get working on a lifestream in the blog sidebar next

I’ve seen it before in your flickr stream. And just found that it has been implemented here. Cool! Love the soft color scheme!
Did I mention that I love your new logo too? Yes, it’s look bold and sexy

Are you going to change your blog design?
I really like your current look. So simple, clean & cool.
If you are really moving on, why don’t release this design as a free theme in WooThemes. I am sure many people will take up the offer as it is so beautiful.
