The neat thing about blogging design…

April 29, 2009 By

…is that if you don’t like the theme you picked yesterday you can change it with a click of the mouse today. This is NOT my new design. It’s yet another way I can mess with the “brand” I’ve built. I want to destroy it, to allow me to play around and find something fresh. How’s this one? Anyway, today I’m on a plane to Phoenix to hang out with some cool geeks. More later as we continue building this out.

This theme is one of the pre-built ones in WordPress.com. If you don’t like it, we can pick another and keep trying them as Rackspace’s designers work on my new design, which will come up as part of the launch of Building43, the community for people fanatical about the Internet comes alive.

    if you would like my opinion then without any hesitation i can say that simple design is best for the crawling purpose as far as search engine concern.

    Somehow this look and feel (ie brand) is taking a while getting used to..if this is what you meant by brand destruction, then you are on target…
    Hopefully your content will remain the same – else off you go from my feedburner..so much for loyalty in today’s world :)

    I do think everything has to start from somewhere, and it’s convenient to have blogging themes that can be changed with a few simple clicks. Probably start off with a theme like this (a pre-built one), then based on feedback, change the design again.

    I do think that the design has something to do with branding. Every little thing counts. But, of course, no great theme can ever replace killer content, which I’m looking forward to reading on this site.

    There’s so much accumulated over the years. Bookmarked. Definitely revisit.

    I agree about the tags / categories thing – it’s more like an index than, say, chapter headings or topic areas. Otherwise, very clean.

    P.s. I always read from your site (rather than feeds) because I like all the incidental information websites offer.

    Well do you have any specific reason to select this theme. One thing which I like about this theme is green colour and except that I did not find any attractive thing.

    We are waiting to get your answer.

    Scoble,
    It,s not the image but the message that is needed. I have followed for several years now and seen alot of changes, when you started with politics, I left for a while then came back.
    Latly I find that what I enjoyed about your message was the discovery not the method of prsentation.
    With your re-branding and moving away from the old Scoble info, I find that you do not hold my attention any more.

    I appreciated the journey, now I am looking on my own.
