It is finally here.
The new SA Rocks design in all its glory. Please let me know what you think. I am going to be making more tweaks to the theme throughout the week.
Some information about the theme:
The sidebar was bulky and overbearing so I have trimmed it down using some nifty wordpress plugins. The SUPPORTERS LIST has been moved to its own page. Don’t stress, your links are still there and will still show up on your Technorati rankings (I hope). I have kept the badge, weeklies and the MyBlogLog visitors. We have tried to keep it clean and easy to manage and navigate. The header will take you home and the posts and images are well spaced to make it pleasing to the eye.
Thanks go out to Vincent Maher who helped me with the theme…alot. I bugged him an incredible amount and he came through with flying colours in my opinion. Shot dude, your a good man!
As you can see there is also the Virgin Money logo in the header. That is about the most influence that VM will have on this site! There will also soon be a bit of advertising accompanying the site soon. The sponsor has been great and are very keen in promoting the blog, the concept and South Africa. Thanks Virgin.
That is all for now, please feel free to leave comments and suggestions regarding the theme attached to this post. I hope you all like it.

The new look is awesome – rockin’ SA talent at work here!

I like the new look, great job.
If I may suggest? The last block in the logo, wouldn’t having that black make it closer to the SA flag … or wasn’t that something you were aiming to achieve?

Dave: Thanks dude!!
Eish: Hmm… interesting point, but I think that with the background being so dark, black would’ve made it a bit overbearing. We tried to capture the more fun/sparky/colourful parts of the flag.
But I will definitely look in to what you suggest and see what else people have to say! Thanks for the comment.

well done, i like this one much better. Good job on the header and I appreciate the cessation of the colour assault on the previous one.

Yo man, this layout is WAY better, the last one was just far too busy and lacklustre, but now it is stylin’… Great success!

I noticed the lack of black in the logo as well, just like Eishman. But then, the text itself is black, making the blue obsolete – particularly now you have black sidebars – I would remove the blue square – or is it referring to the beautiful blue skies and oceans over here
Anyway, great job, looks so much better – well done!
