Hello world again! My new/old blog

by Felix Leupold

This is my “new” blog, where i will share my thoughts about UX, design and front-end development. I decided to switch this blog from German to English to reach a larger audience of the web development community in the future.

I can really recommend it as a starting point for your own theme, because it’s very lightweight and not overloaded with styles and functions. I’m comfortable with the current state of the theme so I’ll use it from today on, but I will make tweaks to it continuously.

I know that my english isn’t perfect, but I am looking forward to improving it, while writing this blog. Comments and corrections are always welcome :)
