I launched [lesterchan.net v3.0](https://lesterchan.net/blog/2008/06/05/lesterchan-net-v3-0/) 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 with icons from Fatcow and the new logo is done by [Li Xiang](https://layhiang.com). Because it is built using Bootstrap, lesterchan.net now incorporates [responsive design](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Responsive_web_design).

**Changelog**

- Currently using WordPress 3.5
- Build using Boostrap
- Icons from Fatcow
