Last Saturday my wife said that she was very ’sien’ (bored) with my blog theme, so I decided to change it.
So I went over to Pablo’s BlogsReview.Net to see some themes he reviewed. I chose this one because it looks simple, it supports widgets, it allows readers to change the colour and it has a nice, wide sidebar.
I have removed my ‘Popular Posts’ section, which I plan to add to its own page. I have also removed the ‘About Me’ section with my photo because I felt it was a bit redundant.
I have also added an email subscription service. When you subscribe, my posts will automatically be sent to your email inbox (so you won’t have to keep visiting my blog, and then leave in disgust when I’ve not written anything, or if my blog is down again). Just click on the ‘Subscribe via Email’ link on my sidebar.
I still have a bit of work to do. The customization is about 80% complete.
If you’re reading this by email or RSS, visit my blog to see Adino Online’s new clothes.
Do you like it?

Oh yes
I like the orange colour
Adino: I like it too, the colour is almost the same as my previous theme
February 18, 2008 at 10:32
Like it, like it, the theme so refreshing!!
Adino: Looks like everyone was sien with my old theme
February 18, 2008 at 10:47
Yeah nice.. suit you..
Adino: I like it too!

Hi Adino!
I like this new design…it’s very sleek (I love the hot pink version
But I have to admit that I really love the old design, too. It felt very homey and warm…but I won’t argue with Poey Chin 
Speaking of whom, has little Poey Chin Jr. been born yet??? (sorry, I’ve been out of the loop 
Adino: Ooh, hot pink is nice too!
Little Rachel will be born in May

This is totally random, but wow, I don’t have the smiley icon setting turned on in my own blog…but seeing it on yours realized that I type a lot of smileys!!
Adino: It’s okay, go crazy with them!
February 18, 2008 at 13:13
Oh I LOVE this theme! Orange and black, tres chic
Adino: Thanks
February 18, 2008 at 13:33
Not bad. Nice new outlook. Bright and colourful. Text is easy to see.
Okay, to be frank (and I think weird thoughts), it’s a good thing you haven’t uploaded a picture of your yourself and soulmate yet because I’m suddenly thinking prison jumpsuits… (hehehe!)
Adino: Prison jumpsuits? Oh, I get it… it’s the orange and black!

I notice the “Piggy Head”, so cute!
Adino: I thought it was a horned devil?
February 18, 2008 at 21:55
yes i like it. i like de white background. easier to read in de office
Adino: I think the black text and white background does improve readability dramatically. Glad you liked it. It means I didn’t waste my effort
February 18, 2008 at 22:48
Adino, many congrats to you and your wife and little Rachel
We want lots of pics when she arrives!
LOL, “piggy head”!! I thought it was a cute cat who was shouting!
Adino: Don’t worry, there will be lots of pics!
February 19, 2008 at 07:40
I see, so that’s why.
Adino: Yup
February 19, 2008 at 10:57
so orange like hari krishna!
Adino: Doesn’t it make you feel hungry?
February 19, 2008 at 12:47
Nice and simplistic
I do prefer the red colour option - more striking 
Adino: This blog theme so diplomatic… everyone has their favourite!
February 19, 2008 at 15:20
Yeah, it looks good - try to avoid putting yr own pics.
Adino: Glad you like it too!
February 19, 2008 at 20:47
Nice work, adino! This theme feels sophisticated, whereas the previous one was homey and cozy.
Adino: Sophisticated is good, and I guess it’s refreshing after a year with the old theme.
Actually the old theme lost out because it didn’t support widgets
For all of you non-wordpress users out there, widgets are really cool because you can modify your blog layout without changing any html or php coding!
February 19, 2008 at 21:36
i wan something new too..but i dono where and wat to do le..
plus now headache with my new baby…at home cant log into msn and so on..go college pula can log on…pengsan d..
Adino: Just pay a visit to Pablo’s blogsreview.net. I think you’re on Blogspot right? So maybe your options are more limited. What’s wrong with your PC? Can describe, maybe I can help? After all, I’m an “IT Guy”
February 20, 2008 at 21:18

if i connect manually i cant sign into msn,msn.com or hotmail.com…

Looks like you didn’t changed colours but made it look awesome. The theme is Awesome; pins me to change my blog theme too..
that side bar looks pretty good!
Adino: Thanks
September 15, 2008 at 22:52
Oh yes I just love your layout! The wide side bar is the best.
You sure have plenty of information on it too. I can only hope
when I finally take the time to create a blog it looks just as good.
By the way, orange is my favorite color so I’m loving this layout
alot!
Adino: Well, all credit is due to the template designer!
September 20, 2008 at 05:53
I just adore the side bar as well. It is wonderful. Orange is a great color, although it is only my second favorite though. My first is green so if you ever change on the orange hit up a little bit of green! See ya!
Adino: Thanks! Credit goes to the template designers.

No doubt this is the simplest and cutest theme which I have seen so far. Believe me, I like the title of your post more than that and have never read it before. It sounds like you are harry and your blog is toby, master give new clothes to slave to set him free.
Adino: Sorry but I can’t really tell if this is a spam comment or not, but giving you the benefit of the doubt I would have to say thanks!
