A template inspired by the character Phos from Houseki no Kuni, made for personal use and later made available for free. The cover image looks messy, but the preview is not that bad. It's from a transitory phase, where the styles were not as excessive as in my older layouts and I was more careful with the alignments, yet still not responsive and far from what would be considered a good layout today.
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.
