Blog & Forum Updates
Regular visitors to DesertWeather.com will notice this change right away. I have updated the look of both the Blog and the Forums. I have also fine tuned the color scheme on the front page.
I think this new look is a dramatic improvement. Not to get too technical, but with each improvement made to the blog software (Wordpress), this new “theme” will make it easier for me to keep it updated.
Please give me your feedback. Visit the Forums and voice your thoughts.
Thanks
