New blog design
I have been thinking about this for some time. I had this design for more then one year and I think it is about time to change it. This theme has been pretty popular and I can still see people coming from CSS galleries where this blog was mentioned about year ago. The biggest referral is smashing magazine where this theme was mentioned in the list of 45 best designed blogs. So if you are coming from these sources enjoy it because it is not going to stay like that for a very long time. I hope you are going to like the new one as well. It is not going to be that playful and colorful but do not worry I am not going to leave colors. I am just no going to use that many of them.
Current site
There are lots of thinks I would do differently on this current version but I have rather decided to create a new one instead. The current site is to heavy so the download time is very long. The graphic elements are not very polished because at the time I was creating it I had only couple of months experience with Photoshop. Just look at the rounded corners. But I think that it reflects the knowledge and feeling I had when I was starting in web design industry and I want to keep it that way and leave it untouched. I might decide to give it to someone.
The new concept
The new concept is going to be based on all the stuff I have learned during the last 6 months in my first web designer full time job and all the books I have read. It is going to be build on very solid grid. Shades and grids are going to be used more carefully. The iconography will be done by me instead of using the photoshop elements. I would like to implement some interesting DOM scripting and maybe some AJAX as well. The images will be merged into the sprites to speed up download time and so on, and so on…
It still needs tons of works but I am just so exited so I had to write about it. Hope you will like it.
