It’s been busy, with AAJA stuff. I’ll post later, when I have a break. But then….it won’t be a break if I’m blogging! Anyway, I’ll be back. Someday.

So who wants in? Leave me a comment before I write my first one.
Lounging around
I haven’t blogged in a week. Whoops.
Eh. It happens. I’ve been busy with other stuff and will probably continue to be busy for the rest of this week. And when it comes to online life, I’ve been feeling lazy. In the meantime, enjoy this latest photo of Kip. It’s also a hint of stuff I’m doing later this week.
New year, new look
If you’re reading this in an RSS reader, or you’re just a little oblivious, I’ve redesigned yet again, this time, with a single column theme, which I’ve actually never done before, even with the original, html site that so many got to know and love. Ha. Anyway, as I describe in the updated About page, I actually started to hate my old theme with its three columns. It felt so busy, when dude, I really am not writing about anything consequential here. Seriously. So I started looking at single-column designs and managed to mix it up — redesigning the style of one theme that is super powerful with the styling of one theme that I consider totally gorgeous.
So if you haven’t figured out what’s going on yet, here’s a quick guide — what I used to have on my sidebars, like Flickr photos, a search field, archives, yadda yadda yadda, they’re all now incorporated into “sidebars” inside the one column. How cool is that?! If you stumble on anything that looks hinky, please let me know.
Thank yoo! Thank yoo very much. (I watched a lot of The Closer episodes during the making of this new design.)
Experimenting with my themes
Yes. As you can see I’ve messed around with my theme again. That’s sort of the beauty of WordPress, you can experiment with colors, typography, different types of sidebars, if you want — obviously, I’ve always favored right-side sidebars — and headers. Previously, I was using Sandbox’s child theme Essay, which I think is still quite nice.
But I have something else in mind.
I really love typography, but another thing that I’ve been kind of seeking is simplicity. There are a lot of really fancy, graphics-heavy themes out there that look really cool — but are not me. In fact, if I put them on, I don’t think I could look at them every day. Which is why I took down DailyPress. Its not that it wasn’t a nice theme, because it is. I just couldn’t look at it anymore.
Anyway, I have a design in mind, so I am going to keep working on it, with some help from my graphic-artist friends. For once, the design I have in mind is not something Trinity can do easily. So bear with me as I experiment with my themes. The one I’m using now is called Thematic.
