New Theme - More Readers ?

After doing some research and reading on user friendliness , reader habits I finally decided to change this blogs theme. This was done after testing at least 50 themes , well none of them had everything I wanted but this one had most so I chose this one.The previous theme , Talian 1.0 helped me a lot in increasing my page views and if all those information out there is anything to go by this change will improve it further.Below are the changes and how they should benefit.I will run this theme for one month and compare it to the previous theme , be on the lookout for a post .

Change 01

The post starts at the at the left side, instead of the middle in the previous theme.The reason behind this is that unless someone is from Saudi Arabia or a similar Arabian country like that they usually start reading from the left. Most of my visitors are from social networking sites like Digg,StumbleUpon and from advertising sites like Entrecard. So the first thing they should see is the post , I think this will improve the average site spent on my blog and eventually lead to more page views.

Change 02

Well the second change is more to do with colors , instead of black and yellow with few whits spaces the new theme is mostly black text ( Grey if you want to be picky ) on white background which according to me makes the site looks more neat and easy to read.Well some might argue it makes the site look dull and less vibrant so I might change the background a little and do some meddling with the layout to add a bit more color to it.

Change 03

Removed the AdSense block from the home page , they are still visible if you view a single post but the home page looks more clean without the Adsense block and it slightly improves the load time as well.This is mostly targeted towards Entrecard users who seems to be very picky about load times.

Well those are the visible changes , In the next post I will discuss the with the PHP files for better Search Engine Optimization.
