I have recently been putting together some free Wordpress themes that are available to download at Mtsidesign.com and decided it was time to do a redesign for The State of Affairs.

The new design is not too dramatic over all, but the new homepage for TSOF has major changes I felt were worth noting. Here is a brief list of the major changes.

1. New animated Featured Articles section.
2. Added a Featured Video section to showcase new videos and tutorials that we have put together.
3. New bottom content section that features the about me section, our blogroll, and our archives list.
4. All recent post on the homepage are now dynamic summaries. I felt this would make it easier for you new visitors to get a better idea of what The State of Affairs is about without being bombarded with 5 full post.

That covers most of the changes. The articles pages are still pretty basic, but I did remove the small side bar to free up more space for the actual articles. I feel it’s much cleaner and gives the content more focus.

If you find any errors or just want to make a comment on why you like it (or hate it) leave one below.
