I don't use my website much due to its design- it's rather dark and dreary. I thought I'd cheer things up this week by working on a new design the past couple days. The new site will clean everything up and make things a lot more efficient, not to mention visually pleasing.
But first, some explanation. I've never settled for a design with which I am satisfied, and, except for times when I'm actually redesigning my website, I never contribute to it.
However, this time around, I'm taking a design and sticking to it. Now that I've left most online communities to which I've contributed over the years and have left them for quite some time, I'd like to reestablish an online identity somewhat separate from my past. In order to do this, though, I'll have to restructure the website, with a new design and new philosophy.
It seems these days, everyone has an opinion on something, and they let their visitors know exactly how they feel about such a story. The best blogs have a theme, like "science education" or "the automobile industry"; mine will focus on technology, politics, and their intersection.
