Part of what I&#8217;m working with is something to seperate out the sidebars a bit. As it is now, I feel like the three columns blend together a bit too much, there&#8217;s no real visual distinction. I don&#8217;t want to go back to the boxy-borders look I used to have to separate things out &#8212; while it&#8217;s extremely simple to do by adding borders in CSS, it&#8217;s not very visually interesting.<\/p>\n<p>So this is one possible idea I was dinking with tonight. Not a major redesign, and it pulls the columns out on their own while still pulling the eye into the center where the main content is with the lighter color. I&#8217;m just not entirely sure I really like it. Too grey, maybe? Hrmpf.<\/p>\n<p>Someday I&#8217;m actually going to come up with a <em>good<\/em>, clean, attractive design. Until then (and that day may be a long, <em>long<\/em> time coming), I&#8217;ll keep poking, prodding, and stumbling around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Someday I&#8217;m actually going to come up with a <em>good<\/em>, clean, attractive design.
