Well, it had to happen at some point. I can no longer hide behind the comforting blanket of minimalism and greyscale design for my blog because, well, I knew it would take hours and hours to make anything reasonable that used color. Gaze your eyes on the new monospectra (version 0.8-something-someshit)!
I’m planning on adding dedicated static sections for particular content, similar to what j.chorng has set up instead of only having a blog here. I’ve also change the way I format my blog posts to be more concise at a glance so that I can show more posts per page, and have retrofitted a lot of my previous posts. If you ever want to read the full text, it’s dynamically rendered in front of you like magic.
Alas, there’s still a lot of work to be done.
I still haven’t overhauled the existing comment system CSS, need to work on the new sections of the site, overhaul the way I present music, sprinkle some AJAX everywhere, and desperately need to dip my face into the HTML5 bandwagon every nerd on the net has a hard-on about… but this, at least visually, is a good milestone I feel.
Aside from all this pedestrian coding and getting lost in Photoshop for hours, there actually has been a lot going on lately, but I’ll save that for the next post.
Sidenote– I only tested this layout on a mac with firefox and chrome. If everything failboats on Safari and Windows, it’ll have to wait for tomorrow.
