Yes. Another Redesign.

A few days ago I took a photo with the photobooth app on my MacBook. I really liked it and as a result redesigned the blog today. Not a huge change, but it's a bit sharper and bigger than before. I was worried about lack of whitespace but there is not too much clutter, so that should be okay. Font sizes are all bigger. I've moved from 700 to 1000 pixels wide, as 700 was too squashed, and now theres a bit more spacing between things.

While the old design was a great move forward from the old standard blogger design, over time it became soft and with very little contrast. It was cluttered and the title bar took up too much space before the user hit content.


The new design is slightly less tall, so more content fits on the screen. It is much wider making room for even more content. I'm loving the MG Open Moderna typeface right now. You can be sure I will be using it again for some client work. I found it here. I definitely recommend adding smashing magazine to your regular visits.

Once more, like the last redesign, I am having trouble making the sidebar pretty. They are fine, but not brilliant.
