How often should we change our blog layout? Is there a set standard on how many times we should change our template in a year? I don’t think there is but if you have answers to these questions, your feedback is highly appreciated.
What made me asked these questions? If you haven’t noticed, I have a new blog layout. This is actually the third template that I have used this year. I didn’t plan it, I was prepared to keep my blog’s layout until I find a better one. Honestly, I have come to love this layout. It is just disappointing when you see another blog who has the same template as the one you are using. But since you cannot claim ownership of the template, you cannot do anything about it.
One day, when I was visiting my favorite blogs and dropping Entrecards, I commented on Carlota’s blog who was then hosting a contest for her fellow bloggers. The prize? A custom layout. I have always wanted to have a custom layout but I was not prepared to pay for it hehehe. Obviously, I was one of the winners and you are now looking at my prize.
Well, thanks to Carlota for all the hard work and creativity that she had put in to come up with this layout. She definitely exceeded all of my expectations. I just love the header!
Here is this blog’s evolution:
This is the first template that I have used this year. I like the header but the body is quite dull. 
I installed this layout on the 8th of February 2009 and it has since played a significant role in the success and failures of this blog. However, it is time to say goodbye to this layout.
So what do you think of my new layout?

HI Leomar, I actually have been here thrice already, this is the 4th visit since early this morning, and good thing the comment section is working now. I was planning to let you know through our blogging for fun group, gladly, you know it as well.
anyway, i love your new lay-out, i love the lions up there and the blue and the sort of Philippine flag color, and the combination of everything. Congratulations for winning the prize.
I love this new layout. the color scheme is very cool to the eyes.
how often should we change layout? honestly, I don't know hahaha. but they say that it's nice to change the look every once in a while. mine are freebie templates and I change the theme when the current theme is not compatible with the latest word press version. kaya nga I doubt if I will ever want to have a customized theme because of the frequent changes sa WP.

Thanks Badong. We have the same taste hehehe.
Thanks for the frequent visit, Rochelle. I was up til midnight trying to complete everything on this layout but i forgot to test the comment section. It was only this morning that i noticed that there's something wrong.
Thanks for the visits, Betchai. I apologize for the comment form not working properly. I should have tested it last night but i already spent about 5 hours trying to put all the widgets into this new layout. Thanks again.

I love the new layout, very masculine. I am a Leo for birth signs, so lions are kind of special to me.
