New 2014 design – simplification

In my spare time I’ve been working on a redesign for this site, and I think it’s finally complete enough that I’m comfortable writing about it. The first thing that should be immediately noticeable is that top to bottom the site’s been simplified. Largely it’s been pared down to a single column. Navigation is tucked …

Redesigning Sinosplice

I meant to mention this sooner, but as is so often the case around here, I got caught up doing other things.

A few changes around here

Just a quick note to reference a few changes I’ve made to the site. First: you’ll notice that I’ve changed the comment submit layout. When I initially designed the look of this site, I was eager to try some new things, and so had the comment submission form stuck at the top of the comments. …

The Humanaught v3 Has Arrived

My eyes are cooked, my ass is numb, my fingers are cramped… the redesign is done! For anyone not reading this in their RSS feed reader or on a splog, the changes should be pretty apparent. But I’m going to run through some of them anyway 🙂 First, I should mention, I’m not a big …
