The Notebook and Aurora
It's nice to be back in the front after months of working in the backend. Yes, I was watching you from the backroom, until one day I told myself -- we need a makeover!
So I looked at PS from a distance, tried to detach myself for a while to have an unbiased look, and it dawned upon me that PS needed to have some focus, a new look and once and for all, an identity.
We are dropping the subtitle "Elite" as it is no longer relevant, and we're adopting the name of an old group blog we had at http://pinoyspy.net/spynotebook. (you didn't know there was one, did you? Well it's gone now).
I've always liked the idea of keeping a notebook even up to this day, many many years after college. So I was looking at the installed Drupal themes in the admin backend when I saw Aurora! I said hey, this is perfect!
Aurora is not a lady. It is the Drupal theme that we're using right now. See the ring binder at the left side? Indeed it is a notebook! Credit goes to the theme designer (link at the bottom of the site).
What I liked about the theme is the dark background (not too straining on the eye) and of course the notebook graphic in the background. Indeed, writing on PinoySpy.net is like writing on your notebook -- just write whatever you want to write, heck you can even scribble!

I like the contrasting colors. And I hope the text doesn't go places as they do sometimes when I load some pages. So, what should Pinoyspy be? :)

Variety is the spice of life! Am feeling nostalgic right now - what with the spiral binder reminding me of time spend in classrooms seemingly unending until krrring! Time for the next period. Quickly positioning myself near the side of the pretty lass (or so I thought) till we reached the next room it still smacks of puppy love! Hayy! Quickly now kwix. Kudos to the effort of SD and Artin (?) for the design.

i thought for a moment that i was lost... what a change! from my elementary days 'til early high school eh i'd used these kind of notebook but unfortunately my mother would removed the spiral spring & replaced it with strings (to make it more durable & easy to cover daw?)... until such catlleya notebook became "IN"... at that time, i'd finally bid farewell to my everdearest spiral spring notebook... tnx SD, now i have it again!

Yo SD!!! I LOVE IT! Kaganda! Okay na okay na okay! Promise sobrang ganda!!! ^__^
__________________________SD, you sure made some nice modifications since my last visit last month. Don't forget to update the main page. The browser's title bar still shows as "PINOYSPY ELITE [beta]". ^,^'
You might also want to use a darker font (or darker background stripes) for the list of Bloggers on the right sidebar.
Is the url going to be pinoylibre.com from now on or will it just be an alternative to pinoyspy.com? ^.^
