I can’t seem to find the time (or maybe I’m confusing time with energy) to fix the colors here on the site. It looks great in Safari on my laptop, but I know everything is too dark on Internet Explorer, or even Firefox maybe. Dark and brooding and hard to read, but since I never see it that way, it’s an easy thing to push to the back of my mind.
I know I’m not the only one who suffers over the visual aspect of their site and its effect on the presentation of the writing, as well as, perhaps, the writing process itself. For instance, Randy over at The Illustrated Encyclopedia of an Imaginary Universe is talking about a redesign because of this very same internal debate. I sometimes find myself just a tad envious of the people who find a layout for their site and then seem content, as if the idea of change doesn’t even enter their heads. How can they do that? What’s their secret?
I still don’t know if I like the idea of my daily event writing showing up as a page two story. I think about it every time I see it. Not that I completed this site’s redesign, or even came close. Still a dead end Links page and a Projects page that is incomplete and experimental, at best. And a few places, where the correct page isn’t even called up right, and things don’t quite make sense. And my idea to start designing sites. Ha! Better finish my own first, don’t you think?
