Yup, I re-designed the page… again.

I decided to do a stripped down page, removing all the comments, meta tags, categories, etc. As you’ve seen, I’ve also moved the portfolio to the front page, as the blog was becoming more and more of an afterthought. I’ve removed the web design stuff as well, considering most of that information has a home on my M60 page.

I’m not sure how long this design will last. I’m already thinking about building another theme for it. Mainly because I’ve discovered some nifty jQuery (yeah, I know) scripts that I want to play with. I’m also not a big fan of the way the color scheme effects the readability of the blog. I think the colors, while balanced overall, don’t lend themselves well to text in terms of contrast. I know I’m the one that created this color scheme, but I’m man enough to admit when something I created kinda sucks. I’d also like to re-implement comments, but use Facebook comments instead of Disqus, considering the majority of interaction was coming from posting art on my Facebook page.

Speaking of Facebook, I should really spend more time updating my social networks. I started using Hootsuite and Seesmic to help me do that very thing, but it still seems to fall off my daily radar. It’s odd to me how interested I am in the concept and functionality of these networks, and how much time I spend reading about them and working with their api’s and such, yet I can’t find it in me to actually use the services consistently. I suppose it has something to do with the sense of information over-saturation I get whenever I look at my wall. It just looks like more data I have to sort through.

…I digress.

Update: I adjusted the colors of the content blocks in the blog… I still don’t like it.
