RA Project Re-design Launched

By Ronald Huereca on Jul 28, 2007.

After a few months of promising, the Reader Appreciation Project re-design is finally finished. At the suggestion of Bes, the re-design is not the default theme. We decided to allow you (the reader) to try it out for yourself voluntarily for a week or so before it is forced upon you. I’m using a theme-switcher plugin to switch themes, so you can always try out the new theme and switch back by clicking on the links below.

  • Original RA Project Theme
  • Re-designed RA Project Theme

Your feedback is also welcome.

  2. Thanks Snoskred,

    I know for some it’ll take some getting used to. I’m glad you like it.

  3. Hmmm. I noticed our page views took a nose-dive today, then I cleared my cookies and saw that RA Project was using the default WordPress theme. Oops. Everything should be cleared up now though.

  5. I also like the new theme, however it doesn’t seem to be working now, as I’ve tried switching themes and it’s coming back as the same look both ways.. even after I’ve cleared my cache

  6. Ok. RAPROJECT 1.0 is now the default theme. Thanks for all of your patience. If there are any issues, please let me know and I’ll try to fix them as soon as possible.

  7. My eyes! This theme is killing my eyes. We have to get rid of this theme and put the previous one back because…

    Just kidding! :) This theme is awesome: wunderbar! Thank you! :)

  9. hmm… I’m sure I checked RA blog a couple of days ago and I didn’t see the new theme. I just came now again, and saw the new look. WoW!!!
    Great Job with the re-design, Ronald! Bravo!!!
    I absolutely love your meticulous attention to details.

  10. Thank you all for the feedback. This theme definitely has my blood, sweat, and tears embedded. Simonne and Bes were also very supportive of the design process, so I’d like to thank them for putting up with me. Vivien, you are also to thank, so thank you :)

    For those who haven’t expressed their feedback, any feedback is appreciated and encouraged. Even if you rip me a new one.
