*This is not an April Fools joke*
Onelargeprawn has been online for just over 3 and a half months now and we (OK, me. Lucy Furr hates change) decided to change the look of the blog and add a few features so you, our dear readers, can have a richer experience.
Our new spanking theme is called Magazeen and was created by WeFunction Design Agency and released by Smashing Magazine. We’ve modified it and added a few bits and pieces:
- Threaded comments – No more having to use the “@” symbol to reply to a specific commenter. Our previous theme did not support threaded comments, but our new one does. You’ll find a Reply link next to each comment. If you want to reply to as specific comment, click the link and type your comments – it’ll be shown in the right place.
- Editing comments – You’ve just submitted a comment but have made a misteak and wish you could correct it. No need to wish anymore, you’ve now got 5 minutes after submitting a comment to make any changes you need.
- Social bookmarking – After each full post, you’ll see icons for some of the popular social bookmarking sites. If you’d like to spread the post around the Internet, click the specific icon to submit the post to that social bookmarking site. We’ve included Digg, StumbleUpon, Twitter, Technorati, Del.icio.us, and Reddit. Note that you’ll need to be registered with the site to submit posts to it.
- Featured content – On the sidebar, you’ll notice a new widget called Featured News. Here you’ll find links to the articles that we especially liked. Our most recent articles has moved to the top of the page and the list of categories is now at the bottom of the page.
That’s about it for the time being, but we’ll be adding new features as we go along. Let us know what you think of the new theme – likes, dislikes, general comments, or any bugs you may have spotted.
Thanks,

I like.
But, I also liked the previous one to be honest.
Just need to get used to the new colour scheme.
Regardless though, Its still a great site!!!
Hey MurderDoll,
Thanks for the comment and compliment. Now I can see if the threaded comments functionality works ;)
One of the main reasons I changed to the new theme was because the old theme did not support threaded comments. This theme seems cleaner to me and was much easier to modify.
I know people aren’t too keen on rebranding, but underneath it all, we’re still the same people, so you’ll still see the same kinds of stuff we like (and hopefully you like as well).
Thanks for your support!
Yeah.
The new functions are the important ones! :D
In all honesty it could be pink and shocking green.
It wouldn’t make a difference. Well except for the fact that I would most likely go blind with arc eyes,
But hey then I could put my welding goggles to good use!! :D
“CHANGE IS GOOD”

GOOD CHANGE IS even better, now where is the smiley button?
Smileys are now enabled ;)
Squashed a bug! The comment dates were incorrect but Google came to rescue and they are fixed now. It’s a small victory but I’ll take it ;)
