Website changes and new look

So as you all know, the website has been pretty much dead for the past 3-4 months due to my high inactivity and lack of new content such as roms, kernels and themes for the Galaxy Y GT-S5360. A big thanks goes to Manik Chhabra who has just recently started taking my place in posting new content for the Galaxy Y while I was away from the blogging world and I would like to mention that I will also begin making new posts and upload videos again for the last few roms and themes that were missed out.

The other news is that this website will now have support for the new Galaxy Young (S6310) model. You will see roms, kernels, themes, tutorials, tips and tricks posted for it as well as videos in the YouTube channel. Since the phone is very affordable and is not bad at all for its budget price, you could even consider upgrading to it if you are on a very tight budget.

Also, if you haven't noticed already, the website now has a new look. This was done so that all three archive projects can now have the same look. It is possible that you may encounter 404 error pages and small glitches in the first few hours until the new template is succesfully implemented to the blog.
