Update: The Extraordinary Kiddo Sports A New Look

On a boring Sunday, instead of religiously studying Japanese or doing something productive, I decided to change my blog’s theme. Browsed through my favorite theme sources, edited the features to suit my personality, created a very simple header and then voila, The Extraordinary Kiddo’s new look.

What has been changed?

The blog header, from having Japanese characters, now is a simpler one — all bold with 3 colors. That simple. I’ve also cleaned up my links page and got rid of dead links and not updated blogs.

What has been added?

Added to the sidebar is also a chat widget for those who’d love to drop by some notes to me.

That’s it? Yeah. I always want my blog theme to be simple yet sleek — minimalist style. And for the time being, this theme makes me happy. Whatchathink?
