The NEWER Look

This new layout was downloaded from http://www.ourblogtemplates.com/2008/08/blogger-template-mantis.html ...the template looked pleasing and happened to be named Mantis also. The grid is again the 2/3 layout. Instead of links along the right column, the template has the links below the title. The contrast between colors guides the eye through the page. The size of the text, and how bold it is, directs the eyes to the posts. The template uses blank space to keep the page focused and neat. Each column and gadget is boxed, creating proximity. Again, color choice repetition causes grouping.
