Redesign: heavy lifting done
I think that most of the work on the redesign is done. As you can see, the site now sports a new logo, new fonts, a different design, streamlined navigation, some new pages, and a bunch of other goodies.
So what’s left to do? There are always a few things. I think there may be some [...]
Redesign, Phase 1
It’s time. I’m pulling the trigger on the site redesign. Doing it incrementally isn’t really possible, but I’m rolling out the first phase separately anyway: doing away with the news item department icons on each post. Their time is up.
It only gets better from here
Quick shout out to everyone’s favorite Tin Man, who turned 30 yesterday.
