Another Redesign
I had a little creative surge this morning, and what better outlet to release it than my website. That’s right, this entire layout is approximately two hours old and will hopefully last a little longer. I decided to go to a one column layout (although keep an eye on Garrett Dimon’s site for an opposite transition) because it still is all about the content and what better way to feature it than give the impression of a page.
Unfortunately, I still don’t do colors, but I did go out on a limb (by my standards) by using a light shade of gray! The inspiration for this new layout comes from sites like Niggle and Powazek that have brought their content to the forefront without discarding the essential blog features. Hopefully, this will inspire a little more interactivity and discussions.
Obviously, this design is far from finished and I will be adding and dropping features over the next few days. Who knows, maybe I’ll wake up with another surge and another layout tomorrow. Also, while the design looks dead sexy in Firefox, there are the expected IE quirks which I’ll be getting to soon. If you haven’t already just go ahead and get firefox.
Update: I somehow failed to notice it until now, but my site has been refeatured in CSS Mania, and a new gallery: CSS Nightingale.

I like the concept of sundries at the bottom, too. Been seeing it quite a bit since Powazek, but that must be because it’s such a great idea!

I like the content revolution that’s going on here. Everyone’s doing the whole focus-on-the-content design thing. Even me.

When you say “9rules” ads, are you referring to the 9rules logo at the very bottom of the page, or the eMiniMalls (the interactive ad)?
I’ve actually gotten an email from someone that likes them because they actually help instead of being simple, static ads.
To Everyone Else
This layout is still in a very malleable state, and the website itself is – ultimately – yours…my dear readers. So if there are any changes that will make it easier for you to read or any additions that you would like to see, leave a comment and I will do my very best to accommodate them.
