A word on the new design this blog is sporting.

I’ve been working on redesigning this blog for some time now. This is not the redesign I’ve been working on.

I’ve been tired of the previous theme for almost as long as I used it. It was too plain and boring and not terribly flexible for my taste. My lack of personal time didn’t allow me to complete coding up my design for use as a WordPress theme. (The one thing I miss about Movable Type is how relatively easy it is to plug in template tags to a design. WordPress is a different beast altogether. Yes there are template tags, but there’s also this Loop I have trouble wrapping my head around.)

Now that I have some more personal time, I’ll be able to pick up working on my design. In the interim, I decided to put up something to at least be rid of the boring. I came across it yesterday in Smashing’s RSS feed. I’m not 100% happy with it, but it’s a step in the right direction.
