I’ve noticed a few things (and a lot of them were pointed out to me as well) to improve upon in this blog’s design.
1. The white space: This is going to be a little tricky, as I really want to keep it pure white. I’ll have to find a way to offset the whiteness by manipulating the layout and maybe distributing the content more. If all else fails, I will have to make it off-white. But I doubt it’ll come to that.
2. The comments: I find myself unsatisfied with the current comments section. I want the names to be aligned outside the comments themselves, and I want there to be comment threading. (so people can reply to each other without confusion) This is some complex coding stuff for my current level of competence, but I’ll try.
3. The layout: In conjunction with issue #1, I think I want to rearrange the layout a bit, just to see what works best. Right now I’m thinking of doing away with excerpts for the home page and just displaying the content all-out. We’ll see.
Those are pretty much the changes I want to make, (unlisted are the really minor stuff that probably won’t affect how you interact with this site), so expect some changes within the next few days (hopefully).
Thanks for all the support and encouragement you guys have shown on the “launch”. And the comments and suggestions! Very helpful stuff. Keep them coming!
#2: Yes, It’s kind of, well not hard but a bit troublesome to read the actual comments since they’re aligned with the information of the commenter and have the same attributes. Although I’m imagining making the font bold or the text indented, and I don’t think that will cut it. XD
