December 2001, Version 1: The Begining, bakkouz.com was born, very basic interface, just an email login form and a photo of a girl i used to call my girlfriend

June 2002, Version 2: A more image intensive interface, dark and ugly, the theme was, Photoshop like interface? who knows what i was thinking back then

June 2003, Version 3: Since i had nothing of importance and since there was hardly any traffic on my website i thought what the hell, i’ll just use it as a link holder for my emails, also 2003 marked the transition from bakkouz.com to bakkouz.net

June 2004, Version 4: A more artsy look, nothing fancy, i know, but i just got fed up with the very minimalistic design.

January 2006, Version 5: The birth of the blog, during 2005 bakkouz.net was pretty much resting in peace, aka dead! so one day Jad suggested that i put my website into some use and turn it into a blog, and so i did.

March 2006, Version 6.0: Time for a major redesign, the last layout was customized by me, it was my first attempt at modifying a Wordpress theme, and even though it worked, i wasn’t quite happy with the looks, so pulled i up my sleeves and this version was born, which would then go on to win toot’s blog design contest, notice the size of my big head

July 2006, Version 6.1: The two column theme just wasn’t cutting it for me, i needed to expand, so a slight adjustment was in order, a three column theme was born and the head shrank accordingly to make space for extra content

January 2007, Version 6.2, Current: A change of color, I love red, but it just too overwhelming and i decided to tone it down a bit, so i went for a darker maroon and orange, the flashy header image was gone and my head tilted a bit, i guess i’m drunk or something? who knows!

And thats it ladies and gentlemen, a review on bakkouz.net from 2001 to 2007, I personaly like Version 6.1 the most, but i’m perfectly happy with my current layout, its calm and simple and has all the funcionality i need, and we’ll see what the future brings
