Old layout, with all the problems that come with it, like outdated styles, hover animations and not responsible. That said, one of the purposes of this blog is to show how my skills evolved, so I'm not shying away of displaying how I started. But looking at this, I also realize that, while my skills evolved, my creativity... not so much. Especially now that minimalism is so valued, I feel like there is less freedom for people to mess around. If some of the ideas I had for this layout were more polished or better executed, the result might have been better. That's one of the reasons why I applaud people who are still going strong with old blogs and continue creating "old-school" templates for their personal corner of the web.
I created it for a personal blog whose goal was to bring to the portuguese fans news, theories and content about the book series Inheritance Cycle, by Christopher Paolini. It was actually relatively successful at the time, for something in portuguese and about a book series.
Both the preview and the blog itself - I never bothered to take it down, and I won't - are here: [www]
