Welcome to CTWHM 2.0

Notice anything different? I sure hope you do! Welcome to Can the World Hear Me 2.0!

We have been working long and hard on finalizing this theme, leaping through loads of different design ideas. The launch of this theme symbolizes an important step in our journey to impact the world and get our ideas heard.

The first thing you probably notice is the change in color scheme. Our old theme looked very…blue. We had blue links, blue backgrounds, blue header, blue everything. We wanted to add a new color into the mix, so we introduced the color brown. Brown is a great color, and we feel that it harmonizes well with the blue in this theme. We tried to introduce orange, grey, and white instead of brown, but they simply did not have the same effect.

We aimed to have a very simple design, and as a result we had to remove a lot from our previous theme. With each post, we only list the author and the title. We removed the categories listing as we didn’t feel that they were necessary. We removed a lot of other things because we wanted to remain at the bare essentials: content, header, navigation, footer. If there is anything we removed that you feel is essential to our blog, please, let us know! We are very open to suggestions, just send us an email or post a comment.

Unfortunately, because this is our first time truly releasing our own design, there are bound to be a few bugs. Here is a list of some of the known bugs as of right now:

IE 7

1. On some pages the body tags float a little too far from the posts, and fixes itself after being refreshed. This is a weird problem we are trying to fix.

Opera

1. Each brown bar at the bottom of each post has a background that extends a little to far on top and bottom.

Firefox

1. Everything works perfectly. You lucky dawgs.

1. The background colors do not extend beyond the screen, so when you horizontally scroll to the rest of the navigation at the top you will not see any color there.

We are currently working on fixing all these problems. If you notice any problems other than the ones listed, do not hesitate to email us! We want to make our readers super happy and have the best possible experience on this site =).

Last but not least, you may notice the projects tab next to the blog tab up top. It doesn’t work…yet! That is a new feature we are planning to add to our blog ASAP.

Stay tuned for my next post, where I will talk about the evolution of our design. You’ll get to see our first design for the blog (It’s Horrible!), and many other older designs! We are not responsible for any potential eyesight loss.
