I wanted to tweak the design here a bit so I splurged for the custom design upgrade. Gotta say I really love the system, especially the revisions on the custom css, its a very handy feature. Some day I need to figure out how they did it as this would be a pretty handy plugin.

So here is what I did…

• Unboxed the layout and made it full width
• Removed the search from the header and moved it to the sidebar
• Tweaked the margin/padding on the header & footer
• Removed smiley face from the footer
• Removed comment bubbles from home page as no one ever comments
• Changed the link color to a different blue

Currently the text under the “Custom Design” Upgrade in the WP.com store reads…

Customize the fonts in your theme and dive into CSS to make all the presentational changes you desire.

I think it would make more sense for it to read something like…

Customize your design by adding custom fonts and make all the presentational changes you desire by adding custom css.
