We are happy to introduce techpluto technology blog redesign. Finally ! TechPluto got a Facelift.
If the regular readers could observe,the frequency of posts out here was a little less past week.Reason ? TechPluto was in the process of getting a new face.
We went through literally hundreds of both free and premium WP themes and went on to demo selected few themes with relevant customization but things were simply not working out.
The basic aim was to put relevant and forgotten write-ups into limelight, keeping the latest stuff on priority.Few categories should also get better visibility.The overall appearance should be pleasing(atleast better than before),with no overstuffing of content on homepage(this sometimes makes readers more frustrated than usual).’CSS Styling’ should also be neat.
But just because it was getting too late and things were to get wrapped up earliest possible,the theme got finalised(and we’re happy with it).After deciding over the theme,the TechPluto logo got photoshopped.
And here we have the ‘Newer,Better TechPluto‘ (we reckon so,rest you decide).Hope,you would like it but if there’s anything that you’re hating with the newer layout,please comment that.We’re listening !
Last but not the least,as the design is ‘fresh’,so bear any bugs(although chances are rare) you come across and better point them out.We might also perform little changes here and there for a while so bear that as well.

Pretty neat, nice design!
Why is it that the title “TechPluto” is so tiny? Definitely not as big as it looks in the image (comparing old&new) that you have shown in this post. More over, IE shows bluish background surrounding the title text, looks transparent in FF though… I still like the old title design…

Thanx Mike,Keshav,Manjunath
@Manjunath : Quite true,the logo is a little smaller than the earlier one but frankly,there wasn’t anything particular in mind while photoshopping the logo.Just that something new was desired…as “Change is always good”.
After you pointed out,i checked out TechPluto in IE 6 and the bluish thing is there…Although i confirmed in FF,Chrome,Safari,Opera,Flock. It’s fine everywhere else.
Seems like there’s a problem with IE 6 (i haven’t checked out in IE8).
