This Design

January 27th, 2008

What does everyone think about the design of this site?

I wanted something that clearly separated actual content from meta-content (navigation and so on), and I think I definitely succeeded there. I also tried something new, using a “semi-liquid” layout, with a fixed content width but percentage values elsewhere. My biggest worry is that on higher resolution monitors the right half of the screen might be wasted space. Also, how does everyone feel about the fixed-position navigation and stuff (on the left)? Annoying or helpful?

Let me know what you think in the comments.

    In the most regal of smoking jackets, Artemus Buckwald Houndsworth, 76, sips a chalice of brandy. Next to the roaring fireplace in his palatial New York flat, Houndsworth - acclaimed literary scholar and longtime contributer to The New Yorker magazine - chuckles slightly at the images on his laptop computer screen. "Oh ho ho, this is rather amusing. Apparently, this Charles Norris fellow is quite the ruffian" he comments.

    Hey, alex just showed me your blog! I Like it, I like how the navigation is fixed, it makes things a lot easier. It's pretty, too btw, for a women's view on things, lol.

    I like the design too, especially the little nitch at the top that indicts blog, portfolio etc. A suggestion: how about a return link after you post a comment? I'm way to lazy to have to click on the blog link at the top of the screen. GOD.
