Old & New



This is that obligatory post that follows after a new layout change, just thought I'd let you know. I am terrible at visiting blogs in person and not just browsing posts through the convenience of Google Reader, so I often don't see posts in their blog homes. I think it's nicer to visit blogs and read posts there.

I just wanted something a bit fresher in a layout for the new year, with lots of white space. I think content can get lost in a layout that is too cluttered. I really enjoyed my old layout and maybe one day I'll revert back to it, but a change is fun.

I can only imagine I'll be tweaking bits and pieces some more. I can never please myself!
