I’ve done a few tweaks to the site to make it more appealing to me and the bots that visit:
- simplified color scheme (header is now white), for a more spartan look that is all minimalist and such
- changed the logo from a cartoon image of me to a cartoonish image of me (I will change this periodically)
- changed the tag “bad design” to a category
- added Writing prompts as a category
- added Lists as a category (I need to add a bunch of posts to this; the criteria is that the post must be centered around a list, not simply include one
- done some experimentation with Font Awesome in titles and posts to add visual interest. For example, a book review could have a book icon that says, “Hey, this is probably a book review!” Like so:
- started tossing in more images to again make with the visual flair. You can never have too much flair, as we know.
- changed the titles to a cheerful green to make people happy for visiting
- continued to scrupulously avoid the use of emoji or emoticons
I’ll continue to make more tweaks in the new year. I’m also considering moving the site to a dedicated host that would allow me to spend less time on the plumbing and more time on writing inane posts.
