Design change

with 4 comments

I’ve decided that fixing the typography of this site’s orginal design theme would take me an age. As it’s hosted on wordpress.com I would have to use just CSS, as I’m not allowed to make edits to the wordpress design templates directly.

So, I’ve switched to this theme instead. Advantage: good spacing, typography, next/previous entry navigation, clearer call to comment links. Cons: narrow fixed width, only two column. As I write, this is the off-the-shelf theme design. When I have a few moments I’ll make some design tweaks and tidy this up.

What do folks think – do you prefer this design or the original one?

  1. I prefer this design – feels more like a blog. (if that makes sense)

  2. You’ve dropped the headline feed from the non-work site, which means another page for me to load…

    I dislike this design – feels more like a blog.

  3. Roger – added back the other feed. Will be making more tweaks, suggestions welcome. I can do anything that’s possible via CSS for design.

  4. I prefer this one a lot more, though it’s one I’ve seen often (tweaked or not). Probably because it is good. The other one was classic Drupal, but I didn’t really like it.
