A year has passed since The Soul Sanctuary was launched. A lot of development has unfolded. And now, one year after its birth, I decided to make major improvement to The Soul Sanctuary. Those will mainly include:

Simple, minimalist design. Simplicity is bliss. After half a year of short and simple posts, now The Soul Sanctuary also uses lightweight, minimalist design and display, for less distraction and better reading experience.

Uncopyright. Possession is illusion of the mind, and also a source of suffering. Thus starting now, I let go of my ownership toward the contents of this blog. After all, I cannot lose something I never had. See About page for more info about this.

Shortlisted Links. The moment is always fresh and new. And so our links. Starting now I exclude static webpages as well as blogs that do not update in 30 days. I also sort out blogs that are not open to comments.

I hope this changes make you enjoy this blog better. Please let me know what you think about this new look–any inputs (or even critics) are welcome and highly appreciated.

Thank you for visiting, reading, or even dropping a comment or two :)

hello, nice minimal, clean

some stuff like this box I’m typing into and the submit button are a little hard to see

You know I once read how black on white can be a little stark and a near black, say #333333 can be nicer on the eye.

Hope this is constructive :) not here to complain :D I like it!

Changes are always for the better..I admire your farsightedness specially:

Nice feel. I can see why they say’ “less is more.” :-)

Oh, here’s the comment box, I found it . . . it was totally invisible at first ;-)

Well, Rizal, I have enjoyed everything about ‘The Soul Sanctuary’ since I discovered it . . . but every now and then we make changes either to our existing blog, or as Ta-Wan did, by creating a new blog; as C. Om would say, “It’s all good!”

I’ll continue to vist and enjoy :-)

@ C. Om: Somehow it reminds me of one of your posts :) thank you, C. Om :)
