a year, a ton, a job still half done?
though it seems like at most 12 months, it has in fact been a whole year since the mondrian design was implemented on this site... so, with another july rolling around i figured it was time for a change. the previous colours were “inspired” by a standard blogger template, first seen on jonnybaker's blog and also it turns out used well-known on the award winning call centre confidential. my redesign is based on the principle that black (and white) is the new “black”...
as it turns out, this entry also marks the 100th blog entry since i implemented movable type, back in october last year. along with the other manually-created entries dating back to december 2002, in “blogging years” (thinking dog years here) i believe this counts as being finally out of adolescence.
5:28pm: right at this very moment, i'm working hard to upgrade the templates that produce the page, to support the new code... for the next half hour or so, things are going to look a little dicey round here!
9:13pm: half an hour. hah! done at last?

a thought: for some intriguing uses of "the new white" how about getting *The Gray Book: Designing in Black & White on Your Computer* by Michael Gosney, et al. A bit older, but workable. And for next year, perhaps when you move from b/w into duotones, try: *Designing with Two Colors* by Betty Binns. most excellent in the use of a color plus black/white/gray.
p.s. glad to read bronwyn's better, and the article got accepted. woo-hooz all around!
