So I got bored with how the site looked, even though it was perfectly fine, so I naturally decided to switch theme once again. Having zero time to create my own, I headed to the WordPress theme database and found a nice looking theme called Smooth. I changed a few things and an hour or two later — here it is!

I am not completely satisfied with the archive page yet, but I am guessing it will look like that for a while anyway. It displays all posts with the associated image if there is one.

You might have noticed that the site has been down for a while now. Dreamhost had some problems I assume, and now the site is back online, but the restore is not entirely up to date.
