It's that time again. The last was two years ago. The final straw (aside from Josh, Jeff, Jon and Doug all working on their sites) was Josh's Flickr badge. I've just gotta have one of those. But for that I'd need a mult-column layout. And so a redesign began.
What my personal site has always lacked is a home page that highlights the depth of content. Sure there are a bunch of links is my nav, but they're all hidden in the "drop-up" menu. I've been doing some thinking, and I came up with a way to pull together multiple Blogger homepages into one page. I've made some progress in my understanding of how to build flexible multi-column pages. That all came together the other night, first on paper, then in HTML, and finally with this crazy multi-column layout.
Of course it looks completely insane with background colors ranging from #000 to #fff. The actual design will be fairly monochrome (thinking of borrowing the color scheme from this photo of a person hiking). It will be a big change from the current site's garishness. Also note: the H2s (Words, Play, Hyperlinks) are going to be image replaced with low-contrast decorative text.
Ok, that's all for now, I've got a number of other projects going.
