Roll Out the Carpet!

Back at the beginning of the year I mentioned that I had plans to create a new theme for the site. Que several delays due to other priorities, I finally got myself to sit down and work, checking the old design and various other WordPress themes for reference and inspiration. I now present the new redesign! While the colour scheme and basis remains intact, the focus here was to streamline the design and layout to be more tighter and tidier, easy on the eyes and removing unwanted fluff. Other updates were internal to make my work easier and to present relevant information on the site more clearly, along with other plans I will be working on in the following weeks. Below is a list of changes and plans, regardless of their scale.
