Design Facelift

It’s been many years since I have redesigned this website. As I’m spending most of my time building up Hoverboard these days, I couldn’t do a complete redesign, but I did give it a bit of a facelift yesterday. I’m not happy about how the vertical rhythm is currently, but the type is bigger, no more widgets taking up real estate in the side column, and simplified the banner a bit.

In the near future, I hope to do a ground up redesign, but for now, this will have to do.
