    Rajiv, a much needed facelift. I like the design, quite easy on eyes…I am so glad that the ‘bubble’ real estate has given way to actual matter above the fold…

    I am sure this will be good for WATBlog’s traffic too…

    Well done !

    All in all some nice design changes.

    My only complaint is about the font colour. Black makes it easier to read. And since the content is the main thing, ease of reading should be priority followed by looks.

    Could there be an option to choose the font colour Black/Grey on top?

    Another suggestion would be to make the search bar stand out more.Possibly integrate it into the blue menu bar on top.

    Good luck guys…
