Enhancing the Blog

If someone actually does visit my blog on a weekly basis, you might realise the design changed once again. Unhappy with the previous dark atmosphere and lessened readability, I’ve spent more time trying out new ideas.

960 grid

Thought it’s a very loose interpretation, I’ve based my site on a 960GS. The only elements not following this rule is the navigation bar, in case I want to add extra tags/pages. I’ve also just noticed the footer is lacking the initial left-margin of 10px, which I’ll fix sometime in some near yet distant future.

Line height and width

I’ve played around with the font size to display around 20 to 25 words per line. I might tweak this up in the future to get it down to 15-20, just for the extra readability. I’ve also added sufficient line-height and white space to make reading more enjoyable. This was achieved in the previous design, so it’s not new to this one.

Future improvements

I am trying to imagine the next pieces I’m going to attach to this site. First off, I need to write more frequently, because what good is a site if there is no content? Next off, I’m thinking of adding some custom pages to manage my uploaded music and pictures, instead of posting articles and links to the mp3′s/png’s.
