Blog template: Messy desk


This is a very old layout that I never made available, and yet, I still like it. I like the soft colors and how fitting the name is, given the elements that really make it look like a messy desk. It's not responsible, however, and probably would look bad in most screens nowadays, besides having some really outdated animations and styles. 

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.
