+Today I officially launch my blog revamp, after a series of hosting and domain issues. I decided to buy a new yet similar domain and host it in a trustful company.

+<h3>So what's new anyway?</h3>

+<h4>New theme series</h4>

+As you may recall, the previous series of theming were named after the purple gem, <em>Amethyst</em>. This time I baptize this series with a different gem color, namely <strong>Amber</strong>. I chose browns and yellows to resemble a different level of distinction and so I traded the mysterious nature of the purple for a more determined and sleeker brown &amp; yellow mix. Personally I enjoyed the soft grunge touch to it, it really pushes it up a notch.

+

+I also tried to emphasize the content in a way that's readable, simple and efficient. At least when I read a post, it makes me feel comfortable.

+<h4>Back to Wordpress</h4>

+Yes, you heard me: I ditched Drupal in favor of Wordpress. But then you ask:

+<blockquote>Are you of your freaking mind? First you use Wordpress, then Drupal and now Wordpress back again??</blockquote>

+<ol>

+	<li>Drupal was giving me a lotta headaches just for building a blog and a portfolio. If it were something bigger, then perhaps I'd consider Drupal instead.</li>

+	<li>I must admit: Wordpress' editor is the best one I've ever seen. The media section is built right in and the whole admin area is just so much more inviting.</li>

+	<li>Wordpress also includes import/export features, which Drupal doesn't yet. Well, at least not this good, all I did was import the XML file, plain paste of the wp-content folder, configure the plugins and that's it.</li>

+</ol>

+<h3>Well, anything else?</h3>

+<ul>

+	<li>I'm considering the hypothesis of inviting people to guest post along.</li>

+	<li>A screencast series would be an interesting idea, most likely on Rails or application engineering, and in Portuguese — there are plenty of them in English already.</li>

+</ul>

+That's it for today. I hope that this installation stays put for a long long time. Give your feedback if you are so kind.
