New Design

As much as I liked the last design for the site, it just didn't work anymore. The columns were too narrow: the code samples had to be edited to fit the narrow width and images had to be scaled fairly small to fit the narrow colum.

I designed and almost finished the RapidWeaver template almost year ago. Whilst adding recent posts with copious code examples, I saw that I really needed to get the new template used. I wanted the new design to be easy to read longer articles and typographically mature. I do think the site, is perhaps, not as distinctive, but is far less painful to read.

I'm using RapidWeaver 4.0 now, and have made a few small changes, partly due to new features in RapidWeaver, partly due to changes at Watershed and partly because I just haven't completed the template. Comments are back, iChat status and links are gone and so is Twitter messages.
