Deciding on a blog layout is both very easy and difficult at the same time. Difficult because you want to find something that completely blends in with the content of your blog. Easy because - if necessary - you can change and improve it at any given time.
Rather than using a basic Blogspot template, we chose to search for something more vibrant. The reason for that is that even if you do change all the colours, fonts and font sizes and use a picture for the header, your blog will still look like the typical Blogspot blog. It does not stand out in any way, and that is not what we wanted for something that we will put a lot of effort in.
Many Google search terms and hours later, our clicking fingers started feeling numb. And then, there it was, out of nowhere. The perfect template! We immediately felt that it completely fit what we want to communicate to our readers.
But 'perfect' does not exist. We thought it necessary to make some minor changes to the template. We changed a few font sizes, got rid of the menu tabs at the top of the body and changed the names of the 'applications' in the right hand column.
What you see now is what we changed or not changed it into. The colour scheme and the image at the top create some kind of metropolitan feeling. The feeling of a big city, where music can come to life and where people are critical thinkers. Dark and light at the same time. Simple and sophisticated. And thus ideal for the content we will be producing.
