Black and white and gray: The weather–and now my blog!

Yes, I’ve completely remade the look of the site. The couple of bots scraping it probably won’t even notice. πŸ™

Changes made:

  • Super Spud logo removed
  • colored text removed from site logo, post headers and sidebar headers and blog titles on home page
  • navigation at the top of the site is now sticky and full-width
  • footer now full-width to create a kind of visual bookend with the header
  • post background now off-white
  • site background now medium gray for contrast
  • spacing between posts removed (I actually want to have something to split them a little but haven’t figured how to do that yet EDIT: I found the relevant css and now have a thin line to visually separate posts)
  • tightened the spacing above social media links in posts and between sidebar widgets
  • possibly something else I’ve forgotten about
  • added 3% more love

I may chuck it all in a week but for now I kind of like the more subdued, cleaner aesthetic. It will work great with the slightly grainy animated cat gifs I love posting.
