Blog Redesign

Wednesday, November 04, 2009

Finally, after two years of blogging I have changed overloaded standard blogger design for riga.in
I like black color. Black is good, but in the age of Web 2.0 smart websites are usually white :)
Screenshot of old design is posted in order to always remember how Riga Daily Photo was with Black Design.

P.S. I rearranged many things, but some layout bugs could still exist. Please feel free to point out anything that looks strange. Thank you.

The tradition is to make as big as possible fire and then go into forest to look for fern flower ;)

Shadow - Monthly theme

Saturday, May 02, 2009

Few years before the price of custom car license plate in Latvia was just 500 Ls (700 EUR) and every self-respecting driver had bought one or even two :)
Now they made it 2000 Ls (~2800 EUR) and such extra became the sign of wealth again. Otherwise every second car would have some random text instead of serial number.

This photo is participating in City Daily Theme Day, which is "Shadows" today.
Click here to view thumbnails for all participants.
Also, please see some more nice custom license plate.

Guest Driver is Attenzione.
