New design for this site

For those of you who are reading this through a some kind of Reader you might be interested to know that I’ve been tweaking the design on this site. Wisley in the AutumnFor the rest of you, you’ve probably already noticed.

There was a bit of thought behind it:

  • 3 Columns – I like 3 column designs, most people have a wide enough screen these days to make the most of it.
  • Simplicity – I like designs that are very simple, but still functional. I’m not a huge fan of designs with loads of bling. I know that this slightly contradicts the previous point but it’s a balancing act.
  • Photographs – I wanted something that would showcase some of my favourite photographs. Pictures are also a great way of engaging with people, but the skill is creating a design that allows this without it being gaudy.
  • Fonts – I don’t like serif fonts. Don’t know why particularly, I just don’t.

I’ve still got some tweaking to do.

Let me know what you think.
