Indiescreet’s Brand New Look

Welcome to the new look Indiescreet!

As you an see things have changed somewhat from Indiescreet’s old style.

I wanted to get away from the old design and breath life into the blog with a newer, cleaner, fresher look.

After hours of designing, tweaking and redesigning this is what I managed to come up with.

I hope you like it as much as I do.

New features include:

  • Contact, search, recent posts and recent comments section above the sidebar
  • A list of the most popular categories under the header
  • Twitter feed
  • Random rotating background colours

    • Indiescreet is also now part of the Mog Music Network (MMN), a network of great music blogs and websites which will be of a similar interest to Indiescreet readers.

    Noteworthy sites include We All Want Someone, Melophobe and the Mog homepage.

    There may still be a few teething problems yet, if you do happen to have any problems finding things or spot something that shouldn’t be the way it is please let me know and I’ll do my best to sort it.

    Let me know what you think of the new look, any suggestions, constructive criticism or just opinions will be much appreciated.

      Hey Indiescreet. Hadn’t had a proper look at the redesign until now. I’m really digging it, turned out well. The changing background is immense and it’s just much cleaner in general. The only slight criticism I have is that there’s not much division between sidebar content and it’s a bit confusing at first glance, perhaps a more definite border/outline?

      And I was with MOG for a while but I’ve lost faith with them again. When they don’t have an ad campaign they just use the space to direct to their site, it seems a bit of an exploitative company in general but not nearly as bad as hype machine.

      Thanks for the great comment Indie Music Finds!

      Yeah I realise on some browsers the background colour (which should be grey) doesn’t show up so good. I’ll be changing this pretty soon, making it easier to distinguish the sidebar and content.

      I’m sticking with MOG for a while to see how it goes. There don’t seem to be many other good alternatives.
