I still remember it was end of October or beginning of November, 2011 when I was going to graduate and trying to find my first job. I wanted to have a blog hosted and coded by myself as my first one was on blogger. So I went and coded it using CakePHP framework. I find naming it a bit difficult but finally went for a xyz subdomain @ huuthinhhouse.com. xyz was inspired from my English name rexy 
As far as the design is concerned, Its top header containing my blog name and title was mostly inspired from Jacob Wrightâs blog. Of course, my so-called âRexy themeâ is a completely different design which consists of 1 column â the main content only.
But it didnât last too long. I started my new blog project somewhere during the summer of 2012. It was mainly because I found it too time-consuming having to build very basic blog features from scratch. Besides, as a self-coded blog, blogging and importing content from my old blog was extremely inconvenient as well. So I went to build another blog using WordPress based on the original design and still hosted at @huuthinhhouse.
I added in a âbrand newâ footer, animated header and removed all the unnecessary stuff in the left hand side. Apparently, it was much neater and more professional. But again it didnât last long either. In fact, I bought and did some HTML5 experiments at the new domain rexy.me just a few months later. After some hesitation, I finally migrate my whole blog here. Design wise, itâs basically same as the 2nd one with some considerable improvements.
I particularly love the new navigation. I think itâs just awesome! 
The footer also looks better. The downside would be the left new navigation which seems not perfect⌠I feel there is still some more room for improvement in this design. The next version would be significantly different, perhaps showing off a minimalistic design!?
