This site has finally gotten a makeover that I’ve been thinking about doing for quite some time. The intention of the new design is to keep the site clean and uncluttered while adding a little bit more of color and spice than existed before. Things have been tweaked here and there, everything from headlines to page layouts. Let me know in the comments or by email if you find any bugs. I have attempted to map any old URLs to new URLs, but I am bound to have missed one. The two paintings you see at the top of the page are the ‘The Son of Man’ (in the foreground) and ‘Man in the Bowler Hat’ (in the background) by the Belgian surrealist painter René Magritte.

Overall, I believe the redesign has accomplished my primary focus: to keep it simple and clean with a focus on the thing that matters most, the content. Inspiration, while not alwasy obvious, came from Roger Johansson’s 456 Berea Street, Chris Pearson’s Pearsonified, and Daniel Cork’s Corking Design among others. Included in the makeover was an update to WordPress 2.1 and the addition of several new WordPress plugins (more about this later). I hope that you like the new design.
