New website theme

Last week I started playing around with a new theme for my website. The old one was alright, but I wanted something that looked a bit more polished and with some key HCI (Human Computer Interaction) elements.
The old theme MindreNetv2 had three key problems:

1. It didn't seperate posts well, making it hard to get a quick overview of the articles.
2. The sidebar on the right left side had the same color and could clutter the articles with unintresting information.
3. The topbar with buttons was taking space, and attraction with it's distinct color, that it didn't need.

I wanted something that seperated the articles well and with a professional look. The start was a light background for the article div's, and a dark background for the main page to make the seperations more distinct. This also helped seperating the sidebar from the articles. Then I started removing most of the links used on the site to provide a cleaner (Less is more) look. Since the websites two functions are articles and the articles comments, most of the links were easy to remove.

The result

• A more professional\polished look with the use of PNG and transperancy.
• Less clutter to distract the user away from the articles content.
• A more distinct article-area that also is the most visible area on the website.
• No menybar at the top. (Clicking the Logo brings you back to the main page)

I feel the new theme looks good, and I hope you find it easy to use. :)
