Black beauty

When I started blogging some 8 years back, all my blogs were with black backgrounds. Even though I liked black color, there was bit more that influenced me in this decision. There is a website blackle.com which is technically a google search engine with all BLACK theme. The idea behind this website was black screen needs less electricity compared to color screen. Since as a naïve student I wanted to as much as possible to save planet earth, I decided to use a ALL black theme. I also had the following note in my blog explaining my decision.

"U might b wondering y everything so BLACK over here. It might not b as beautiful as one would like but I`m doing my bit to save planet earth!! (Technically black screen consumes far less energy than a bright colorful screen.).U can do your bit too. Try using energy-saving www.blackle.com (search engine powered by google)."

However, with the years, I realized that not all "black" themes saved energy. Also I realized that not many people visit my blogs to make any savings significant. And in order to make my more blogs pleasing and relevant, I decided to move away from black themed blogs. Coming to main reason for writing this post; I wanted to archive the original note before deleting this. I couldn't think for better way than this ;).
