ProductiveDreams Reloaded

ProductiveDreams is looking different? Yeah! infact, I planned to redesign long back, but couldn’t since the Best Wordpress Contest was going on. Redesigning PD was obviously a tough job since I had to do something better and usable, than the previous design.

This is the third time I’m redesigning PD (I would rather call this a facelift). I’ve used some jquery to make things lively ;)

So what are the major changes?

1. The Global Search

Type something(meaningful) on the Search field on the top right and wait for a second or two.

2. My social network

This section lets you to connect with me. Be my friend!

My Network

3. The Twitter Bird

I don’t want to explain this. :) Just move your mouse over the twitter bird.

4. The JQuery(moving) tabs

A simple JQuery animation.

5. Digg and Retweet buttons

You can see this in the post detail pages.

6. Calendar – shows posts of the current month

7. The Page peel icons

These icons already existed in the previous design but still I think it’s worth a mention.

8. Top Commenters

I love my readers and especially those who take the pain to comment or thank me for my efforts.

Now it’s time to let me know your opinion. Do you think this design is better than the previous one? Feel free to comment here :)

Page Peel – A Free Social Media Iconset

First of all thanks for voting for “ProductiveDreams” in the Best Wordpress Design Contest :) I really appreciate it.

I received many emails requesting for those social media icons that are peaking through the left hand side of this page (or any post page on ProductiveDreams). So I thought of putting together a set of social icons for my dear readers. The set contains 16 social icons in (transparent)PNG format.
