I’ve been meaning to design this blog since I started it about 18 months ago. When I first installed Movable Type the only thing I did was stick a banner-like image up the top to brand it. Since then it has been on my list of things to do. Glad I can now scratch it off.
I aimed to focus on creating something that was essentially simple. Not sure if I’ve achieved that well as I feel it is simple but a little cluttered. Might feel the urge to make tweaks to it in the coming days.
Anyone subscribed to my feed would’ve seen 4 posts come up – these are just pages in the new design. I figured adding them as posts would be an easy way to add them and make any future edits to them.
Have a look, let me know what you think or if there is anything that goes awry. I haven’t fully browser tested it yet so if you’re an IE user you may see the odd funky thing. If there is anything it should be resolved soon.
And now back to your regularly scheduled programming…

Liking the new look John
The dude in the picture on the side looks like he might be about to steal my baby though 
But serious, it works for me
Perhaps a bigger heading or something? I don’t feel quite right about that part.

Cheers for the comment JD – I’ll keep tweaking away at it.

Hiya John! Love your blog man, totally agree with your enthusiasm about wellington – definitely alot of character and more than your regular capitol city fer-sure. Very clean looking site. Like the name and like yer light and shade pic too. Been giving the issue of banners and logo’s some thought – trying to come up with a funky biz card design at the mo. Stay in touch

Cheers for the feedback Karl, good luck with the biz cards – I find they often feel like they take a lot more time and energy than they should – but I think it’s worth it.
Keep in touch.
