Time for a Change
Finally. I've been boring my friends and family with talk of this redesign since September. Well, I can now proudly say that it's finished.
I had the site mocked up back at the end of September, and the basic coding finished by early October. A few projects, birthdays, colds and one holiday later and I'm able to say, "Here it is."
As with anything I do, I'm never satisfied with the finished product. I'll be scrutinizing every detail again and again over the next few months. Be prepared to see some minor changes from time to time. Ultimately though, I'm pretty happy with the overall look and feel of it, so I won't be doing a major update for a while.
Now that this is finally (mostly) finished I can put my focus back on client work, a little reading and enjoying the holidays.

December 17, 2007WOW, I guess I missed all the talk of a new site ;)

December 18, 2007Dude nice!
It isn’t just the look that I dig, but the thought that you’ve clearly put into the site. I am hoping one of these days to emulate that kind of dedication for something other than data. You’re a touchstone now man.

December 18, 2007@Joseph - Thanks! It took a bit longer than I had anticipated. I’m glad it is finally finished.

December 22, 2007I love it, it’s clean and quite simple but nice looking, too. I like the background color, it’s very soft for my eyes so good work!
Only one thing: Why didn’t you position the first heading of the sidebar and of the main container on the same lavel?
greetings from germany, max

December 23, 2007Hi Max,
Glad you like the design. It took a bit of time, but I finally got to a point where I could launch.
Thanks for your question… As with all designs, this is a work in progress, so check back later and you’ll see some changes here and there as I tweak things.
Thanks again!

December 25, 2007He he. Thanks! I’ll have to take your word for it since I’m still without iPhone. Something I hope to take care of this year. Famous last words, right? ;)

December 27, 2007@Eric - I asked for a MacBook Pro and found this in my stocking instead. Going back through the year in my mind and trying to find where I slipped up.
