			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, as you no doubt noticed by now, the blog has been redesigned.  Again.  Well&#8230;sort of.  There were a bunch of things that were bugging me about the other design: it was getting too small for the kinds of content I was posting (images and videos didn&#8217;t fit that well in the roughly 375 pixel wide content area); it was really dark, really contrasty; the image was bulky and took up a lot of space; the sidebar didn&#8217;t exist anywhere but the main page (which is weird in itself, but I just messed up the original coding and couldn&#8217;t figure it out so I gave up and made it my design&#8217;s &#8216;style&#8217; at the time, heh, yea I know, cheap, but what&#8217;re you gonna do); lots of little design things, plus a bunch of stuff about the way I&#8217;d coded it to begin with was weird.</p>
<p><span id="more-289"></span></p>
<p>It was my first WordPress theme, after which I went on to follow Drew Douglass&#8217;s <a href="http://blog.themeforest.net/screencasts/new-wp-video-series-and-free-rockstar-book/" target="_blank">tutorial</a> <a href="http://blog.themeforest.net/wordpress/wordpress-for-designers-day-2/" target="_blank">series</a> on Themeforest.net which is a much more in-depth series getting into the nuts and bolts of making a theme, and learned a bunch more about the way themes work, which gave me the confidence to tackle something a bit more aggresively (thus, the <a href="http://animivirtus.com/blog/link-dump-free-stuff-edition/" target="_blank">AnimiVirtus redesign</a> was brought to life).  Not to discredit the <a href="http://wordpress.tv/2009/01/23/css-tricks-designing-for-wordpress-part-one-of-three/" target="_blank">original tutorial</a> I&#8217;d followed, that&#8217;s great as well, just a different approach.</p>
<p>But all that aside, it&#8217;s a new look, an upgraded feel, and hopefully I can start implementing some more exciting widgets and whatnot in the sidebar, give a more social and dynamic feel to the place.  I&#8217;m hopin&#8217; a Twitter feed, maybe iLike and GoodReads feeds too&#8230;who knows, maybe I&#8217;ll get curious and learn how to add another sidebar on the right someday&#8230;</p>
<p>No&#8230;no I can&#8217;t do that&#8230;I&#8217;m a busy guy&#8230;I&#8217;ve got other responsibilities&#8230;</p>
<p>But it calls to me&#8230;.[<i>Sidebar: Blaaake...Blaaaaaaaake...BLAAAAAAKEE!!</i>].  Oh&#8230;that&#8217;d be my roommate telling me to get back to work.  See ya&#8217;ll later, enjoy the new look and keep comin&#8217; back, I&#8217;ll keep up with content as it&#8217;s been coming recently, and when I get the time I&#8217;ll work on adding some more cool stuff to the site.  See you next post :P.</p>
