Observations of The Urban Spaceman 
A New Look!
15th February 2017 – Update!
I like this one even more.
Why, hello there!
If you’re reading this, you’re probably one of the half-dozen regulars who check out my site whenever I publish something new. Or maybe you’re completely new to my blog, in which case—welcome!
If you’ve been reading for a while, you may have noticed some DRASTIC changes which have taken place today. Namely, a complete overhaul of my site theme and colour scheme.
I really loved my old Piano Black theme with its spacey background(s). However, the theme just wasn’t doing what I needed it to do. Featured images weren’t showing up, the font(s) I had available to choose from weren’t great, and the busy-background was kinda distracting to read.
So! I have a shiny new theme. It’s a little more minimalist, a little cleaner, and though navigation is roughly the same, it should make my posts a little easier to read. As much as I love reading white text on a dark background, I know not everybody does. And let’s face it, I have to leave the 90s behind sometime.
If you have a moment to spare, I’d be grateful if you could let me know what you think of the redesign. I’m still tweaking here and there, so bear with me if you come across something glaringly erroneous. I’m also not married to the theme; I might even upgrade again with a paid theme, if I can find one which really jumps out at me. But for now, I like this just fine, and would love to hear what you think too. 🙂
Your pal in space,

Much improved. Nice header image, too.

Thanks, Eric! I wish I was one of those folks talented enough to make their own images and art. All credit for this one goes to a kind Pixabay artist (https://pixabay.com/en/night-star-cohesion-sky-star-tent-1607465/)

When I peeked in at 4 a.m., things were dark. Now there’s light. Blessed light. Eye easy, yes.

Indeed! There go all those lawsuits for eye strain…

I like it! Clear and simple! And I like the reassuring banner – good to know no conquering is going to take place. 🙂

Thanks, Petra! I actually had an awesome alien invasion graphic from Pixabay… but it was a .PNG and the transparent aspect looked terrible in the header. 😦 Maybe I’ll get chance to use it in a post some day. 😉

I look forward to seeing it, although it sounds a little less reassuring!

Much friendlier and easier to read! Good job! Leaving the 90s behind? ‘Bout time!

Many thanks, George! Some things are just so hard to let go of. Nicknames we earn as children. Our first space-teddy bears. The 90s. But I’ll get there. Hugs Mr Snuggles tightly
