Rawr! Its a new overhaul of the wm161.net design! Long gone is the artsy-fartsy and ugly chunks of words, tacky ‘view options’ tab, and explosions of crap. They’ve all been replaced with a very simple, very nice design. A basic header (complete with orange), proper typography, and a really simple sidebar.
I chose this new design because I thought about my website and realized that I’m tired of being a social networking whore. If people want to know what goes on every day or where I’m at in the world, they can follow me on twitter, or brightkite. I’m not gonna shove it in anyone’s faces, because is it really all that interesting to know what I think about the pasta I had for lunch? Exactly.
I’ve returned to the older days of the web, where it was about the quality of content, not the quantity. I’ve turned off the Twitter Tools post-a-day-o-matic feature and have opted to actually write stuff once in a while. My website isn’t a central place to stalk me anymore. It got annoying when I looked at my own site and saw just crap everywhere.
The next step in this process is to fix a few hidden bugs I’m sure I’ll find, and to update my WPWrapper template to use the new design.
