It’s Redesign Season

Posted February 27, 2006 at 10:39 AM | Tagged as: Just Sayin, Web Stuff | 2 Comments

I always try to redesign my site before SxSW — don’t know why, just call it my own, personal SxSW tradition. With the various projects I’ve had on my plate, time’s been tight, so I decided to bust out this funky design (à la Duran Duran’s Big Thing) that I’d played around with a while back. If you hate it, cheer up! My RSS feed will now supply you with the full text of my posts, so you can read that instead.

Anyway, here I am trying to uphold my own little tradition. But it seems that I’m not alone! I popped by a few sites this morning and saw that these folks redesigned too:

  • Rodney Anonymous Thoughtless for the Day - was clearly redesigned last month, but I missed it. Glad to see he’s posting more frequently again.
  • Brandon @ The Dark Cyde - moved from Drupal to WordPress. Yay!
  • Phoebe @ SimplifierLab - I loved her old site (except for the Flash bit) but I’m really digging this one. Can’t wait to see what she comes up with for a project we’re going to be collaborating on!

And look! I just posted to my blog! Gee whiz, it’s like winning the lottery!
