A(nother) Redesign And Some Humble Pie
My name is Chris and I have a slight problem. I like to change my blog site designs. I tend to change them like Dan Snyder changes football coaches. But I hope this one holds me for a while. It definitely has a lot going for it…and will help deliver a superb overall user experience.
One interesting thing you’ll find is that I’ve been lured to the dark side…I’ve started experimenting with Twitter. Yes, it’s true. If you recall my rather heated post not too long ago, you may ask how this came to pass. I did poke a good deal of fun at twitterers and railed at what it does. However, I’ve started to see some of its inherent potential. For instance…I’ve been using it as a way to ask questions and offer quick updates on what’s going on. I promise, though, you won’t read when I do eat my next peanut butter sandwich.
To most of my friends and readers get their updates via rss, come and visit. I’ll be making a few more changes and enhancements - like cleaning up page content and fixing the design in Internet Explorer (like getting rid of that rather invasive Get Firefox banner at the top…but then again, you should really be using Firefox anyway). If you find anything strange or perturbing, let me know. Thanks for helping me beta test.

Lol, I can’t even remember how many blog designs I’ve been through, but my most recent one seems to be holding. I make tweaks here and there, sure, but I haven’t changed the overall design in months. I’ve been reading by feed so I haven’t stopped in for a while–I don’t know how much you changed how quickly–but I like the new look! I think I need to start leaving my feeder and browsing blogs “live and in person” in the great Internet ocean…
Chris, nice digs. Can’t wait to start stalking you — er — following your tweets. You can follow me at /bkmcae
Thanks for the feedback on the new design.
@EM: that seems to be one of the challenges of rss feeds. Like you, I use a feedreader and only visit actual sites when I want to comment or there’s something really compelling me to link through. Guess that’s what I need to play with…creating posts that are compelling enough to leave the reader and sail the “great Internet ocean.”
@Ben: I think there’s a valuable lesson here for me…never criticize something I don’t fully understand. I have to (sheepishly) admit that I’m kinda digging it. And there are actual instances out there where Twitter is used to help. See Matt Brett’s The Power of Twitter.
All I can say, Chris, is, “Thank god I’m not the only one!” It’s not so hot from a branding perspective, but oh is it fun, yes?
Thanks for the smile you created in my day.
