New theme - v 0.731
The site now sports a new color theme. This is to reflect the blistering heat. The previous color theme reflected the scorching sun and the heat. Now that we are fed up with heat [finally], here’s a small and indirect tribute to the cool winter. The penguins also reflect my true self, according to some people who are always acting silly. If you have any suggestions or comments about this change, please let me know either by emailing me or posting a comment here.
The new title and the supposed “meme” changed also [meme changed a bit, while the name changed completely], with the previous ones being “Writing about Riyu” and “The Orange Blog : The image of the world from a young gaijin to this world”, which served their purpose. While I do miss the oranges, I am sure I can have them anytime at the local grocerry shop, while penguins are hard to buy [and keep, since my fridge is not big enough to have food and penguins living together]. Thus, the new title reflects this new transportation to reach the same goal.
The previous layout served it’s purpose from November 29th, 2003, till today, July 23rd, 2005. That’s a total running time of 1 year and 237 days [combined total of 602 days]. Goodbye old layout, and goodbye yellow/orange combination. It was nice knowing ya.
Besides the color relation to the season, this new color theme is also easier on the eyes. I received several emails this year alone from users and visitors like you saying that they loved the color combination. While I would hesitate from changing something that people already like, these new colors have taken a long time to test to see how they are compared to the previous yellow and orange shades. So far, I think the new colors are light [obviously] and make it easier and nicer to read the text. I hope all of you like this new combination also.

[...] As you may have noticed, this site has undergone a facial uplift. The previous layout was an interesting design, which I created and customized from almost scratch. It was, however, taking a precious amount of time to upgrade or change things from time to time. This new layout and coding should allow for smoother changes and enhancements in the future. The numbering system mentioned in the title, v 0.80, is just a random number I picked to categorize and place this change under a certain order. It’s good to classify certain things and leave certain things unclassified. This change is one of those things that need to be classified so that it can be remembered easily in the future, just like the last change, which was v 0.731. [...]
