Provoked by my blog move, I decided to give it a new design as well. The old design always felt a little bleh. As I've probably mentioned, I suck at design. I know when I like something, but I'm terrible at coming up with something cool from scratch. So I try to keep it simple and look for other simple designs to bite off. Otherwise I'm liable to burn way too much time spinning my wheels. In this case, I found Nicolas's The Jolly Teapot. I loved the clean and simple vibe. I didn't want to copy him completely, so I kept my content centered, kept a footer, used different colors, etc. I did steal his font choice, though (Charter). And added a little piece of unicode flair to my title, which changes in light and dark mode. Nicolas, if you ever read this, I hope you're a believer in that line about imitation and flattery. In this case, it's accurate! Dear reader, if you see anything wonky, please email me. And for posterity, here are pics of the old and new. New design Old design
