Slight re-design launched

December 10th, 2008 :: design :: comment below

It’s not a massive change by any means, but I made some template adjustments over the past couple weeks and published them today. I don’t do a lot of colourful Photoshop work, so that’s not where I focus my efforts. I’ve found the variety of ways I’ve approached my own site design in the past haven’t really leverage my personal domain as a digital hub, so I’m hoping now I’ve done a bit better job of that.

The main changes:

  • made the homepage more of a live aggregator of my digital life, with feed links for everything
  • arranged homepage content in order of importance, from left-to-right
  • moved the global navigation back up to the header and actually used WordPress to list my pages for a change, instead of custom ones
  • made the header colours a little bolder and more pronounced
  • made sub-page sidebars contextual to their focus
  • made it easier to add new site sections or sub-pages
  • still haven’t given in to widgets and other WYSIWYG Ajax-ification
