One of my most common frustrations is a general lack of free time in which to blog about things. Naturally, this also means that I don’t have as much time as I would like to work on the design of my blog, either, but I found a moment to do so just now—and I seized it! Unfortunately, I don’t really have the time to finish what I started right now, so the rest of the redesign will have to wait until I get around to it (which will be soon, I hope).
The motivation for this redesign came from three people: Bob McDonald, who is a very cool guy (as long as you don’t call him a “dumbass”) whose blog provided the inspiration for this I-shaped layout; Ken Cotton, who was getting on my case about not providing an RSS feed (here you go, Ken!); and Kurt Easterwood, who was observant enough to notice that I was using a Movable Type layout without actually running Movable Type, but nice enough not to give me a hard time about it.
In the updates to come, I plan to revamp my list of favored blogs (who knows, I might even succumb to the temptation that is blogrolling!), bring back the Search form and Archives links, and do a bunch of things to make this blog usable—and, with any luck, worthwhile.
