A whole new blog type thing
So, here we go. The time has come again for me to get tired of the design of my blog and redo it all. It happens. This redo is a little more than just a different look. This one comes with a few useful adjustments. For one, the stuff that actually changes fairly regularly has been moved to the top of the front page. Twitter and Flickr are right up there at the top.
Second, the text got really big, or rather it stopped being really small. For a long time people, myself included, have felt the need to shrink text until its tiny. This makes it harder to read and is just completely unnecessary. If this is the sort of thing you enjoy, you can read more about the 100E2R idea at Information Architects. For the rest of you, just enjoy the fact that you don’t have to strain your eyes to read my stuff. I also switched to using a more rigid grid system. You notice that as you scroll down the page, certain stuff lines up all the way down the page. Isn’t typography fun?
The other thing I did was make the comments a little more noticeable. There is probably more coming in that regard, but for now, there is that big link to the side of the articles. I last change was to make a little better separation between the long comment posts and the short link posts so they don’t all run together.
Things are a little hard to test so, if you see stuff that looks wrong: overlapping text, screwy layout, non-functioning stuff, certain pages that look completely different, leave a comment and let me know so I can fix it. Have fun.
