Well, I think this redesign is one that I’ll stick with for awhile. If you’re reading through RSS, what you can’t see is that this blog has been revamped. I found a theme online that I really like, did a little theme-hacking, and now we have a little new life into this blog.
New Sections
When you come to the blog homepage, you’ll be greeted with three major sections:
- Latest Posts – obviously – the latest posts on the blog.
- Reviews – I’m hoping to write more reviews, and they will show up in this section.
- Music Theory – since music theory seems to be my most traversed category I thought it would be appropriate to have a section highlighting the latest music theory post.
There are still a few kinks to work out – but since I’m busy doing other more necessary things at the moment – I can’t quite get to them. Hopefully within the next few weeks (or months, maybe) they’ll be worked out.
And, speaking of reviews, look for a review of Sojourn’s “Advent Songs” very soon.
Have a fantastic rest of the week!
