\"Another<\/a><\/p>\n

Work continues on reworking the design of this place. I think I’ve finally come up with something that I like, too — miracles never cease!<\/p>\n

This time, I took some time to bounce around some of the sites that have caught my eye the most. Generally, they tend to be the exact opposite of what I’ve had here for a long time. Where I’ve had some sort of compulsion to present everything possible at once, all on the front page, I’m far more drawn to very sparse, open, clean designs. Yet, for absolutely no reason that I can come up with, I’d never made an attempt at that style.<\/p>\n

So, this is where I think I’m heading at the moment. The navigation bar at the top will take care of all the extraneous crap. ‘About’ will lead to my about page, which will absorb things like my music and reading lists. ‘Past’ takes care of my archives. ‘Comments’ will catch the last n<\/em> comments made (I’m waffling on this one, actually — it seems a little silly to have a page just for that, but it’s also really nice to have a quick reference of when someone’s said hello). ‘Elsewhere’ will handle both the blogroll and the Destinations feed (just how, I’m not sure yet, but that will come). And lastly, ‘Feeds’ will hold my RSS feeds (which I plan on expanding to include an excerpts feed, a full post feed, and a comment feed).<\/p>\n

At least, that’s the basic concept to start with. As always, questions, comments and words of wisdom are greatly appreciated!<\/p>\n

Update: A quick list of inspirations, code examples, and other ideas as I work on this. Links may be added here as I go.<\/p>\n
