It’s May 1st meaning you will be seeing many redesigned sites today thanks to CSS Reboot, which I participated in last year. I would have liked to reboot this year but school has been overwhelming this semester. I just noticed that Noah Kagan redesigned and his site is looking slick. I might have to take some inspiration from his design in my next design, where I will be showcasing a new logo (in the works). Feel free to post your favorite reboots in the comments.
PaulStamatiou.com runs on the Thesis Theme for WordPress
Thesis is the search engine optimized WordPress theme of choice for serious online publishers. If you’re a blogger who doesn’t understand a lot of PHP, Thesis will give a ton of functionality without having to alter any code. For the advanced, Thesis has incredible customization possibilities via Thesis hooks.
With so many design options, you can use the template over and over and never have it look like the same site. The theme is robust and flexible enough not only to accommodate a site like PaulStamatiou.com, but also to enable the site to run far more efficiently than it ever has before.
I used the Scribe WordPress plugin and service to optimize this blog post for SEO.

You don’t even know how to design. You should call up Bleikamp’s mom to get some advice.
PS. “You just got served”

stealget new ideas from other sites though.Just finished redesigning my portfolio page:
http://www.cssdesigned.com/
Have been working on it for a while now, but just got everything wrapped up over the last few days.
I intended to reboot on May 1st, but ended up finishing my design early last month and didn’t want to wait till the reboot.
@Adam:
I just went to your site and I really like your “Also Recently” section
How are you doing to display a thumbnail of your entry as a picture? Is this a plugin for Wordpress?
Thank!
@GuillaumeB:
That’s not a plugin. While writing the post, add the image code to you excerpt field. And when you are displaying posts in the sidebar, instead of calling their titles, call their excerpt.
I don’t know if it’s within your control, or if you even care, but if I were you, I would check the comments to make sure they don’t cause your site to not validate. (this page does not do so because someone used a <strike> tag, which is not a part of XHTML)
