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!

Maybe if they were a bit more muted…this kinda burns at the retinas a little. The blue links are kinda hard to read too. Invoke the Color List Favelet [1], then click the swatches to maybe get a few toned down samples :)

Hey Kimmie! Well, I was sick of making excuses for my old site (Never mind that the banner that promised a redesign was due in a couple of weeks had been up for over a year!) So, anyway, it does seem like it’s a good preSXSW ritual. As for your redesign … the palette doesn’t remind me of Duran Duran so much as it does the Buzzcocks’ A different Kind of Tension :)
