Reboot!
As you’ve probably noticed (well, unless you’re reading the RSS feed), I’ve rebooted my blog. It was a long time coming, really. I’ve always preferred clean user interfaces and good user experience, and well, the old design didn’t quite fit the bill. 
I’ve been wanting to fix things up for a long time, but I could never quite get it to a high enough priority.
Today, I was finally able to scrounge some time to clean up old posts and customize a new theme. This involved going back and ripping out the crappy HTML generated by whatever code snippet plugin I was using for Windows Live Writer back in 2007…ugh. Going back through my old posts was sort of like going through a bizarro time machine. It’s amazing how much my mindset has shifted since I first started blogging.
So, what do you think of the new look? There’s still some things that need tweaked here and there, but overall I’m really liking it. Let me know if you see anything off kilter.
Looks great, Nate! No more strange left-sidebar to find the date of the blog entry. I also prefer black-on-white for reading text. One suggestion: the hover style for the comment submit button is icky. Maybe instead of coloring it green, just give it an underline, like the other links on the blog.
Very nice!
