Astute Photo has been given a facelift!
While I liked the serif fonts and the contemporary, reserved colours, I felt that it was the right time to make a change. The main text always felt a little cramped and with this new look it has room to breathe.
List of major changes
- New look and colours
- Centred layout with blue background either side
- Blog search feature
- Moved entire sidebar to the right
- Ways to subscribe to the blog on the right
- Labels list right under subscription options on the right
- RSS feed is now driven by FeedBurner
- Changed bullet lists. We now have 3 types of bullets (including these ticks on the side). More space in between list items now too
- Created a cute little favicon to replace the default blogger one. This is what it looks like:
. You should also see it if you look at the web address listed in your web browser. (What's a favicon?)
- A host of other smaller improvements to improve readability
So there you have it. In the process of changing to this fancy new, modern look the blog lost quite a bit of horizontal space. This basically means that wide images will look a little too wide. Still, I've got a good 500 pixels to work with.

FYI - I was using a custom template, and was hit too. (I found you in the discussion board). Just so you know, my blog is back up and running with the custom template. I guess I'll have to see how long it lasts :)
