about me

 

using tables to control layout since 2002 Spent much of yesterday making some tweaks to the look of this site. In general I'm trying to strip away excess visual clutter, deploying white space as a way to make the site clearer and more pleasant to read. The version that's up now is sort of ultra-minimalist; I'm not sure if I'll leave it like this or tweak it a little bit more in the coming week. Any comments you might have are welcome. Labels: meta

So, it may be that you should keep it. I think it'll help the wake-up process. # posted by  Harvey : 12:23 PM   the white space around the screen caps looks killer. # posted by  Harvey : 12:25 PM   I was actually going to request that you keep the "My Library" section up. Alas, you did. Otherwise, the new layout is visually pleasing. Not that it wasn't before. # posted by  Jamie : 9:18 AM   The extra white space should allow me to post wider screen caps, I think. We'll see when we get to Modern Times. Jamie, thanks for the input! I'm glad the Library section is adding value to your perusal of the blog... # posted by  jpb : 5:57 PM   Post a Comment
