I launched [lesterchan.net v3.0](https://lesterchan.net/blog/2008/06/05/lesterchannet-version-30/) on the 5th June 2008. More than 4 years later, it is time for a change in design/layout. I decided to go back to the light color theme because it is easier to match colors and icons.

Welcome to [lesterchan.net](https://lesterchan.net/) v4.0. It is built using [Boostrap](http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/) with icons from [Fatcow](http://www.fatcow.com/free-icons) and the new logo is done by [Li Xiang](http://portfolio.onezero24.net/). Because it is built using Bootstrap, lesterchan.net now incorporates [responsive design](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Responsive_web_design).
