The Adnostic

After an agreement, a creative brief, some vague technical specifications, and two months of hard work, the Zen Master launched my blog redesign last night and I love it.

I trusted him to give me a beautiful design, because that's what he does best, but I also asked him for some bells and whistles and he really came through.

- Notice the link roll which is connected to my del.icio.us account. I'll be posting bits of interesting randomness there.

- I also completely demolished and rebuilt my blog links, which now expand and contract to avoid endless lists that stretch beyond my content. I've made them much more account planning and advertising oriented. Considering that this is also the list I use for my morning reading rounds, this means that my mornings are now completely shot.

- I now have a contact form that will hopefully lead to less spam. Then again, who am I kidding?

- My about page has also been rewritten. Sure it's less personal, but readers now get a better sense of who I am and what the blog is about.

- The content navigation is much simpler now. Back-stories and category links have been moved to the archives page, which gives a lot more focus to the most recent entries.

That pretty much covers it. I hope you enjoy the new design.

Zen Master, a big thanks goes out to you. I love you and appreciate all the non-billable hours you put into this.
