Listen, I feel like I have to defend the new layout choice, mainly because of my girlfriend, whose stubborn opinion that my old design was far better, actually put my own choice in doubt. That's actually why I put the poll up (so I'm calling on all my faithful supporters to vote 'Obama'... err, i mean "Love it! Nice and clean."...)
Still though, for those of you who might not agree, let me explain the reason behind the change. The MAIN thing is that the old design didn't allow me to have the 'OLDER POSTS' and 'NEWER POSTS' links that most blogs feature, because of some crooked HTML coding. I tried to play around with it, but I didn't amount to any conclusive results. That constraint forced me to have my main page contain more posts, which in turn resulted in longer loading times, making the experience unpleasant to some of my visitors.
With the new layout, I feel that the simplicity and white theme make things easier for the eye, as well as allowing me to limit the page to a fewer number of posts, which is really the most prominent advantage. I still have some tweaking to work around, and I will continue looking for a new contemporary, stylish blog template, but until then, welcome to the new Tarek Against The World!
P.S.: If this sincere and emotional post made you have a change of heart, you can still change your vote! Help me win that battle of the sexes!
