I know that most of you are wondering why there is no new post yet, but I guess you guys know why I’ve been busy.
I have never missed a day of posting since the start of this blog except for the exception of posting at around 11:30PM PST, right before the day ends. Anyways, I’ve been talking to a designer and she has been working non-stop on a new theme for me. Who is that designer you say? My designer is Claire from Sharp Wit Designs and judging by her work here, you know she is professional and not to mention 1/2 the cost of Unique Blog Designs, but that does not mean that UBD is unreliable or provides lower quality service, so please do keep that in mind. As for the new header image you see, Bruno was Logo Samurai helped me with that and I was amazed at what he did with my “about” picture.
Anyways, I’ve been trying to get this new theme for a while now, but now that it’s up, I’m sure I’ll gain some more readers. There are probably still small errors in the theme, but if you guys find it, please do notify me asap. Thank you and today’s new post is coming soon!

Update: It seems like some of you are running the latest Firefox version 2.0.0.11 on your computer. I just found out that my current theme might not be supporting it for some people. Another browser that might have a problem is IE7. I’m still going to leave this theme up, but I’ll ask my designer about this problem. Thanks for bringing it to my attention Steve. If you guys could do me a favor, please download CCleaner and clear your cookies/cache and it should fix the problem.
Nice theme. Looks much more better and professional then the previous one. You might need to adjust your RSS feeds as you’re having repeated selection.

I like it! Very energetic and pro!
Thanks for the comments you guys, this project was getting me very anxious to see how it would come out. My designers are great people, so please do check them out
Hey - you must be using IE6 or IE7? I am using Firefox and some of the objects are out of alignment or text ‘div’ items are broken and text is missing …
Sorry, I like the rest of the design, however! Very nice!
Take care,
Steve

Although it is a nice design, if you look at Sharp Wit Design’s portfolio, this looks exactly like all of the other themes there. And I thought UBD’s themes were all un-unique, this really takes the take. All that really changes is the header and what you put it.
Thanks everyone for the great comments!
Quwen: As for Sharp Wit Design’s portfolio, I actually told Claire, the designer, to make me a theme almost exactly the same as this one and similar to this one. I wanted a theme quick, so I didn’t care much if the theme wasn’t that unique. I hope that answers your question.
Ah, thanks for that.
Lookin’ great Mike, keep up the good work and I like your blog, it’s always original.

Mike:
Great theme. I’m flattered that my site made it into your design. Thanks!

Thanks for all the extra input everyone. I’ll also look into getting CCleaner (i used it in my past, many moons ago, and wasn’t too impressed).
As an aside, I use WebDeveloper and Firebug plugins/extensions _ALWAYS_ in my use of Firefox. I made sure to disable cache and disable cookies, as well as delete any cookies specific to bloggin-ads. I still get the same mashed look up near the header …
Thanks again, everyone.
Take care,
Steve

Looks super. I liked your old theme but this one does come with a bigger bang factor, nice. Looks great in Firefox as well (latest version). We just started up a blog review site. Looks like we could feature yours and perhaps give out our First Star! Let me know if you want a review.

There is a slight small problem.

The problem occurs when the user is using ad blocking feature.
Jean Costa » Thanks Jean, there are a few viewers that are reporting the same exact problem, but I didn’t know it’s because of an “ad blocking” program. Thanks!
Nice new theme Mike, very professional.
