It's been over a decade since I had the enthusiasm to tweak the design of my blog. Recently, I've had a more relaxed time, so I had a nostalgic urge to be back here.
It all began from not liking the free templates that Blogger had (still has) to offer. I had been itched with the idea of being able to display the visuals that I wanted my blog visitors to see in the blog design. So I taught myself how to understand and modify CSS and some HTML languages through many Google searches. I mean that's the next best thing to hiring a professional website editor!
I'll share my web designs from time to time using Wayback Machine to revisit my expired designs from the past.

| Designed in 2011 |
The 2011 design was extremely, heavily inspired by a mathematician blogger based in the UK. Though his was a lot cooler, of course! Duh! I'll show you his blog design below.

| Designed in 2012 |
The 2012 design was one of the most interesting ones for me because I had to meticulously measure the exact length and width using Photoshop for everything and that included the space for the Ad Sense. I was inspired by a blueprint of a building. The notes and sketches on the paper were intriguing to me.

| Designed in 2013 |
The 2013 design was somewhat tasteless. I played around with placing the sidebar menu attached to the frame side.
As for the 2024 design, I wanted it simple while exuding elegance and maturity. The main inspiration for the choice of fonts was The New Yorker's article page. I decided to present a blog post at a time with no other buttons other than the Home button, and that's only because the header is somewhat unclickable so I had to create a designated button to return to the homepage.

Anyway, those are not the only designs I've ever created. I just couldn't have access to the archive of all of the blog designs from the past. If I ever stumble into more of them, I can always update this post with more screenshots.
Thanks for stopping by if you did!
Cheers!
