BlogrPro is now more Faster and Fresher
As we are going to release our first ever free wordpress theme – BlogrPro sLight to our community, we feel that it is better to change the design of this blog.
Hence as usual, we made some good research on fastening this blog once again as well as offering a rich design and came up with this design finally. So what are those changes?
- Navigation bar is changed.
- Search bar is removed from the navigation bar and kept in the sidebar.
- Header image is completely revamped with a new look.
- Little bit change in logo.
- A new background with gradient effect.
- Home page post excerpts are now in a boxed look.
- Sidebar is completely changed with boxed widgets.
- Images of RSS feed and buttons are changed.
- Managed to make the BlogrPro much faster than it’s previous loading time. Saved around 9 KB’s also.
- YSlow score of 85 with Grade “B” which is the best so far in any other blog (I think so).
We are in process of naming this new theme. Any idea from our beloved readers will be highly appreciable. And don’t forget to give your feedback about this new design.
What are you thinking right now? Share with us. Definitely yours will be wonderful than mine!

@Harsh Agrawal,
Thanks Harsh. I am planning to add some inputs in navigation bar and when I saw the search bar in the navbar with a white background, it looks like a little bit disturbance to the look. Hence only removed.
And I am still have to add a nice footer like what you all have. But still finding best inputs for adding in footer.

That’s what I expect to hear from you all buddy. I think we made a good start here with innovation in blog design and blog performance. As we bring quality on those 2 things, the next one we have to do is to give the best and quality things in our content.

Nice to see you here buddy. That was really a challenging task to attain that score. We got a score of 92 now. Having Javascripts is little bit problem for scoring.
