So you know how I'm always whining about how pathetic my blog looks? (If you just tuned in, scroll down to point 5 on this post.) Well, I decided to actually do something about it for a change. I'm sure you can tell :)
I am the most technologically challenged person I know. If I have been surviving in a code-driven world for so long, it is solely because of a techie ex-boyfriend who has since been replaced by a sea of techie friends.(That's the advantage of being Indian - you're always around someone who can fix your computer.) Anyhoo, given my lack of expertise in the field, coding (aren't you proud I know this word?) a whole new look for my blog was obviously not an option. Which left me with the only other way I saw out of this: stealing someone else's look. So I did. And by stealing someone's look, I mean I stole some "code." (I love saying code - it makes me feel so knowledgeable.)
It looks good, no? They had a lot of other good-looking templates too. I just happened to choose this one randomly. Sneaked a little preview, liked it, set it. I think this is the one thing I really, really resent Blogger for -- it has the same eleven-odd themes, and they're about as interesting as watching my hair grow. I've experimented with most of their looks as much as I could, but have never been happy with the results. This new look is the only thing that's keeping me from shifting to Wordpress. Oh, and of course, my laziness.
With that said, I leave you to drool over my blog's new look. It's so pweety, if I may say so myself! All thanks to some hot bliggity-ness. Of course, I would have liked to not have their little link on the top left corner of my page, but I guess the world doesn't, after all, revolve around me.
P.S. Check out their website. It reminds me of Handpaper World, and Rio Grande (Delhiites, you hear me?) and all those wonderful other shops where I would spend hours caressing handcrafted journals. Sigh. I miss.

Join the club...I'm pretty tech-challenged myself, inspite of this place. And kinda lazy too..
The new look is much better than the old. Muuuuuuch better, so congos :)
Haha, thanks :) The muuuuuch better makes me wonder if the old look was that bad, or if the new look is that good :P
Yes (as in, yes we notice. Yes, we know what you mean by technologically challenged, etc.)
Thumping yes @That's the advantage of being Indian - you're always around someone who can fix your computer.
:D
Hahahaha, it's so true! There's this one street on campus that only has science and engineering buildings - it's like Desi Land, man. That street can either cheer me up or plain get me homesick, haha.
i learnt coding just for editing my blog..anyways this is simple and nice..free
Yeah, coding isn't for me. Not only do I lack the time, I think I also lack the motivation. Something like this works out far better for people like me! :)
Thanks for stopping by!
Ooh..this so does look like a hand-crafted journal!! I was half-tempted to reach thru and feel the texture..
Two thumbs up! Me likey me likey! :)
@ Tangled: Thanks! :) I've fallen in love with their designs - check them out, they all have the handpaper feel to them :)
