New Year with New Design at Raymond.CC

Posted By Raymond In Category: Computer

Jan

2008

You all might have noticed that the design for Raymond.CC and also forum has changed. I think it has a much cleaner and brighter look compared to the old dark design. The structure of this site is still the same. I didn’t want to make any drastic changes to the structure because it might confusing for some people. Do let me know what do you think of this new design by leaving your vote at the poll below.

Finally, if you find any bug, please let me know through email or the comment box below. Thanks!

    • lilpunk1302

      The new layout’s better, but still seems to have that “Template” feel to it, I dunno.

      Personally I voted for I like it better, but it doesn’t matter to me as I just use Google reader to aggregate al my feeds.

    • Ryanz

      Love the site…but I have to say the new design looks very generic. I’m not too fond of it. I’m all for new designs, but not this one in particular. I think it’s the blue…I hate blue.

    • http://www.raymond.cc/ Raymond

      Here’s a secret. Blue is one of my favorite color :P

    • Paul

      Much easier on the eye than the old design and as ever, a most helpful site.

    • Basel

      Sweet.
      Congratulations.

      Posts font size are seems a bit small on my screen with resolution (1280*800). Size of comments are fine. ;)

    • Klimax

      Well,to tell the truth I liked the old design more.
      Maybe dark blue could be good? :-)
      (I like blue too,but dark one…)

    • http://www.zerohoursleep.com Rami Fayoumi

      Happy new year Raymond! I like the new theme ;)
      However, the text font color in the contact page should be changed, it is while while the background is also white.. :)

    • Paris

      Hi Raymond,

      From a feng shui point of view, I like this better as it vibrates yang energy… the old one was full of yin energy :-)

      Happy New Year and all my very best wishes!

    • Liliput

      Greetings dude,

      Wishing you & family a Very Happy New Year***

      Stupendous for a change dude… Your site ROCKS.

    • Big

      My monitor is 1440x 900 and using firefox.

      The colours are great but the font looks small.

      Happy new year everyone.

    • Big

      Concerning my previous post (#15)..

      My have had to much to drink last night alot of things
      look very blurry…

    • ricardo

      this design is much lighter and pleasing to the eyes.

    • matt

      love it, did you get the wp template from someone or did you make it from scratch?

    • http://blog.thoaionline.com Nguyen Van Thoai

      I prefer this design to the previous one. It looks much better. I might not have noticed the new layout without this post since I read this blog via feed.

      Cheers, Raymond!
      Love the new paintjob. Happy New Year, my friend. ^_^

    • haywood casey

      Raymond, I would like to see the font size increased.

    • coolbuddy027

      hey its really cool man i like the new design n bye d way happy new year 2 u man….. ;)

    • http://www.raymond.cc/ Raymond

      Rami Fayoumi: I think you’d need to delete your cache because the Contact page font color is not white. (Used to be white)

      Paris: Thanks for your opinion. Glad to know that it is also better in terms of Feng Shui :)

      matt: This theme is a modification from Illacrimo theme.

      Fonts too small. Noted. Will increase it. Glad many of you all liked it.

    • Rajshekar Reddy

      Happy to see the blog in an diff, new way, Raymond all the very best….keep doing…

    • Jcym

      Happy New Year Raymond et al. As to the design, I am not really bothered by either, but I Know that many find light on dark difficult. Keep up the good work in the coming year and thanks for an interesting and very useful site.

    • http://www.leedoyle.com Lee

      Loving the new design! Very nice and easy to read.

      On a side note, you need to edit your footer to copyright 2008

      Really noice work! I really love the colours.

    • Sharon

      Like the new presentation, it’s easier reading.

      Best thing is the information you give us, it’s wonderful
      Keep it up.

      Have a SUPER New Years

      Sharon

    • Rick

      Hmm..I agree with the template-ish feel to it. Also, the ads in the blog post are much more noticeable (were they there before?) All in all i prefered the older design – very unique.

    • Eranga

      It’s cool…..
      :-)

    • Ortho92

      Congratulations, it is easier to navigate into the informations.

      But like others have written, it would be more pleasant to read certain texts with bigger characters, and for the white background colour, use a white “broken” as we say in French, after a moment, it is a weeny bit tiring for the eyes !

      Anyway, thank you so much for your job, and happy new year !

    • crazewolf

      The new design’s a lot better. Much easier on the eyes.

    • Snoop

      The one before was more dark, and i liked it better…
      just my opinion, this new one is just to light for my eyes…

    • gramstera

      I like the new design, but the google ad positioning is annoying. Could you move them to the side or something?

    • Chris

      Very good design, love it, its easier too see and to locate some of you website applications.

      Have a good new year!

    • Mahmoud Mustafa

      That’s GREAT layout man

      Yesssssssssssss <<< That’s it

      Go on Rymond ………..

    • HTM

      er.. i think the button to jump to previous page at the bottom is lost.. i use that button a lot..

    • http://hihelloRaymond momo

      hi i said to thank Raymond that i got lot of knowledge for u site

      i like to new design that it was better than old design

      again i said thank Raymond

      great nice

    • Jim

      I have to agree with Snoop who made his comment on January 1st, 2008 at 11:22 pm.
      “The one before was more dark, and i liked it better…
      just my opinion, this new one is just to light for my eyes”

      But then it does look fresh and maybe I’ll grow to like it, thus my vote with “more comfortable with..”
      Good job.

    • **Juanito**

      Its very cool the new design but Google Ads are in a bad place.
      Sorry for my english.

      Bye

    • tampaba1

      I have always enjoyed your blog but, must say I liked the old design much better. As someone said before, it looks like a “cookie cutter” template. Your old “dark design” made for a more interesting, mysterious, and enticing blog.

    • Andy

      It looks better, but would take time for us to adapt to, I always feel the same with football shirts, like when Man Utd changed from Vodafone to AIG

    • DOOOMKULTUS

      SUPER SUPER SUPER !!
      Now you have a web 2.0 ‘ish layout :)

    • Kai

      I’ve been reading your blog post for awhile now but I didn’t post a comment! this is a nice new design! better then the darker one!

    • jam_cute18m

      ei, its a cute layout.. however, can you also change the font size.? its quite small…

      hehehe..

      Happy New Year!

    • Michael

      Who voted for the other two options?!
      -jokes!- Happy New Year. (i bet it sounds cliché by now….)

    • Rodrigo

      Congratulations, very nice layout, scheme and colors!!!

    • MR7

      Honestly, looks like the blog has lose it’s style, I always love the old one…

      Anyway, I learn a LOT with this blog during all year, sometimes I’ve visited it 3 times a day, hoping to have some new info. Thanks Raymond, thanks for the PowerShadow registration also, I hope I can win a RS account next year. Good luck and keep doing this amazing work. From Brazil, thank you…

    • Jaideep

      Link for “Previous Posts” is gone. That was very helpfull for going thru your site.

    • Kc

    • nelson

      Happy New Year!

    • najfal

      it`s cool Raymond . but your old layout s better than this . happy new year

    • Tiago

      Liked the new layout, but I’m a fan of black =P

      Anyway, happy new year for everyone!

    • GT

      Don’t listen to all the haters. This layout is funky, its fresh, its 2008. Your old page was so 2006.

    • Hmm

      The old one was unique. This, though crisp and pleasant to the eye feels generic.

      Quality of posts not eye candy is why we visit in the end however.

      Happy New Year.

    • WRITING IS TOO SMALL

      The writing size is too small.

      Also font is hard to read. Use a font like times new roman or verdana.

    • elis

      Happy New Year Raymond!!! many changes in my compuer thanks to u..;) and i like ur new design more clean don’t u think???

    • dipin

      the new design looks good. also in the old style it is grey in black when in offline and can read only by selecting it, now there is no problem.

    • http://www.techcrunch.co.nr techblog

      i prefer the old layout. Orange with black..seems like the dark side

    • JuNyI

      Sorry I couldnt visit earlier been busy

      The site looks much better now, the old look I felt was too narrow.

      Best of luck and may this New Year be the best for this blog.

    • az

      thanx for a great blog man. I really had a lot of assistance from this site. I know that you want to maximize on your opportunity to make a few bucks (who wouldn’t?), but it seems that with your new layout you have given a greater prominence for displaying ads. It’s a bit distracting becoz your posts are often quite good. So could you please take some action regarding it? (Suggestion: You could put the ads on the side)
      Thanx.. and keep it up(well not the ads.) …. :)

    • jp

      damn you………….i like the design its awesome.!!!

    • R

      This layout is terrible! disaster! eye-burner and etc.
      Your old dark background was better.
      HAPPY YOUR NEW YEAR GREAT MAN!
