2nd generation theme for the blog

what do you guys think, pagan and san? is this better than the previous template? this one is very sparse, but all the stories get only the same amount of real estate on the landing page. leave your comments and then we'll decide on whether to go with (a) the old them, or (b) this new theme.

Not better, but not too bad either, Rajeev. The view count is working again. It was showing all zero earlier (with Option 1).

This one only shows the latest post, plus two much older posts. Maybe there is a setting to show the last 5.

thanks, pagan.

1. i can't see the view counts, how do you do that?
2. i can see 20 posts on my page, all the latest. but if you click on a particular post, it only shows that, as well as two of the more pupular posts in the past.

sadly, this option says nothing about the many years of posts we have in the archive.

also, this option i suspect looks much better on phone screens.

we'll give it a whirl for a week or two and then decide what to do. i'll look for more second generation options in the meantime.

This one looks better than the previous one. But the original format was much more comprehensive and better. That one showed the previous posts and twits.

1. View counts are on the landing page after logging in from PC
2. The number of visible posts fixed itself today. No more complaints.
3. Share-this-post is a great feature to have.
