Late in 2007, I decided I needed to refresh the look of Brainwidth, and so commenced planning a redesign. I originally intended to have it up and running by the beginning of 2008, but real life intervened, as it so often does. In any case, I finally have my 2008 redesign of Brainwidth up and running. I still have a bit of tweaking to do and some pages to add, but the design is finished enough to go live.
I am by no means a web design professional, so the new look is not built from scratch. The underlying theme is Tarski, by Ben Eastbaugh and Chris Sternal-Johnson. Much of the visible design has been modified to conform with my idea of a more minimalist look, with clear headings and highlighted links for easy clicking. I have to give credit for my inspiration to Emmet Connolly’s blog, thoughtwax, which is a beautiful example of a clean, writing-focused design.
Hopefully my new design will help me write here more often. I think a better look will be conducive to more productive blogging. Here’s to good intentions, anyway!
