I made my blog about few months back in wordpress, check gxsaurav.com

Now, I don't need many features on it nor do I require a zazzy theme, how is the current one? What should I keep in mind for my blog?

Anurag Bhateja an old timer in this forum set it up for me, I just write content & forget about the back end part.

Maybe transparency like Vista doesn't look nice when seen on Safari on Mac.

Black background with white text is most readable & you can change the background too

Here in my case, both in IE 8 beta 1 & Firefox 3 RC1 it works perfectly.

It will be slow to open the first time but after that it is fast due to pages loading from caching.

This isn't the theme which I m using right now. My real theme is something anurag is making as a Wordpress theme, which is made using Vista Icons, DirectX effects (also openGL & coreImage). Soon that will be up..

@Gx_saurav - My opera became laggy while scrolling through your blog. Why not use a simple theme?

@Everyone - I want to move my blog to a host. How can I move all my earlier posts & comments in the new one?

^ there are two options.

One is by database backup and another is by import-export xml. Database backup is messy so opt for the import-export xml.

In your old blog:

Go to your wp-admin > Manage > Export > Download Export File

In your new blog

wp-admin > Manage > Import > Wordpress > Browse and select the file you exported earlier and click on "Upload file and import".

Guys, every browser I checked in whether it is Firefox 3 RC1, IE 8 beta, Opera 9.5 beta or Safari 3.11 I haven't found any lag here. I will look into the code & set one static wallpaper then.

Why not use a simple theme?
Nope, This is Vistaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa :D

Here it goes, my site in all browsers.

Scrolling is fastest in Opera 9.5 ->firefox -> Safari->IE

Resistance is Futile.
@GX at 1024x768 the top bar takes up quite a lot of space + Font size is kinda on the larger side

I will retain my earlier posts including the posting date & all??
Someone confused me saying you can't backup your old posts in new blog, for that you have to get the databse from wordpress for a fee.

Hmm, u r right. At 1024X768 that top toolbar is eating lots of vertical space. I m going to fix it soon by removing the wallpaper selector & putting a static wallpaper

I used big fonts so that they are easy on the eyes to read. Here is a screen shot I took in Virtual box running Windows XP SP3 & 1024X768, the width looks ok to me.
