If you were given a chance to rename this blog, Blog of Small Things that is, what will you name it ?
Even though I keep changing the theme of the blog, I do not wish to change the name of the blog, now. But, if you were given a chance, will you rename it ? Is there a better name that can explain this blog better ?
I did not think much when I named this blog. I was reading God Of small Things, the book, and Blog of Small Things came to my mind, and I thought it suits my blog better.
- How did you find your blog’s name ?
- Did someone help you with this ?
- Did you ask for suggestion from your friends or family ?
- Did other blogs inspire you ?
- What is the most interesting blog name that you have ever seen ?
Okay, answers please !!

Yes ! that’s right .. this is a new Child theme built using the Hybrid Theme Framework. Oh, Child theme ? If you do not know what it is, read this post from Ian. But wait, who designed this theme, hmmm blame this guy.
Now, if you have read that post from Ian, you will understand how easy it is, to build a powerful theme using the Child theme technique. So, the guy who built this theme did nothing but few css tweaks. The guy who did all the hard work is Justin. Say thanks and congrats to him.
Still, if you want to use this theme, just subscribe to this blog, and the theme will be available for download very soon. Do you like this theme.. ? Do you have any suggestion ?
