Actually, it’s the same layout just new colors and background. I’ve been clicking around TreeHugger a lot lately and I found an article that talked about how much energy is wasted on computer screens. I learned about Black Google, which is just the search engine, Google, with a black background instead of white. I also learned about a way to make my own blog more energy efficient by switching to a color pallette that saves energy by requiring a lower wattage from your computer screen.
I’ve been playing around with different backgrounds, but I keep coming back to this black with gray stripes that I’m currently using. I made it after observing the BG image used on The Fabulist, which has a great design that I love. I made my own “simple, but not” BG which I’ve now used for my myspace and twitter pages. As it turns out it’s pretty energy efficient as well… at least I hope so.
