OT: Migration to a Deep Blue template

After almost 6 months with the Smashing Theme template, its time for a change. Recently I stumbled upon the Deep Blue template from DailyBlogTips. I liked the clean blue-green-white combination and and felt it might be a good fit for www.dsplog.com. Hope you agree.
