Some of you non-RSS readers might have noticed about a month ago I changed the theme of my blog. Ive received several complaints about the background and dont really feel like messing with the getting a new one right, so lets just change the whole theme.

I was quite partial of the background as it was an abstract shot I took of a local landmark, but I had to yield to the massesthats a bit of an overstatement I guess; however, I cant argue with the success.

Just take a look at the bounce rate of the blog over the past month. I will give you one guess when I changed the theme.

Pretty shocking huh? As a friend pointed out, the lower bounce rate could be because the visitors are lost or dont know where to find what they are looking for, but as as 80% is coming in off keyword traffic and 19% are coming from my linked articles on StackOverflow, I dont think thats a problem.
