As you may have noticed, my blog’s gone through a bit of a renovation. I thought it was time to put Reddish to rest. It’s being used by way too many blogs these days (100+ by my count), and I felt it’s worth having my own unique look and feel on the web.

A couple of key improvements I think are worth discussing:

Less contrast. Softer colours, and easier on the eyes.

Large font size. Monitors are getting bigger and bigger. Forget about the 800 vs 1024 resolution debate – what about moving beyond 12 point fonts?

Tabs that work. The navigation links (“blog” / “projects” / “about”) on my last design didn’t properly promote a tabbed effect. This time, it’s abundantly clear what the links do, and which tab is active.

Boring stuff down below. I don’t want to bombard visitors with content 95% of them will never look at. Blogroll, archives – they’re down below the active article.

What do you think?
