I’m proud to announce the redesign of Soccsksargen’s leading blog, Bariles Republic. It actually looked good before, but now it looks even better! Blogger Avel Manansala of General Santos City asked Winston Almendras to do the complete makeover of the site.
The layout of the blog is akin to an online magazine, which is what Bariles Republic is all about: an e-zine of Avel’s beloved city. This blog is one of the top nominees in Janette Toral’s writing project, the Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs of 2008.
Winston based the WordPress theme on Arthemia, and introduced a number of modifications and his own design elements.
Congratulations to Avel for a very inspiring blog! And kudos to Winston for an awesome theme design!

Hi Blogie! You surprised me with this post! Love you a million times!
But mabuti rin because I want everyone to know how talented Winston really is. And his generosity in doing this difficult theme despite his busy schedule is really remarkable.
The theme is still a work in progress, according to Batang Yagit. But as it is right now, am thankful that a lot of people have already appreciated it.
Thanks again blogie.

[...] Thanks too to Ayel Lalisan who first designed a header for me when I was just starting out and Dennis Paul Custorio who followed it up with a much complicated kaleidescope of my photos in the header,  and finally to Brother Vince Celeste, FMS for being my teacher all throughout my initial fascination with Wordpress. Hey! I was featured at the Mindanao Bloggers homepage by Davao’s blog guru Blogie Robillo immediately after the Bariles 1.0 Theme came out. Read all about it by CLICKING HERE. [...]
