I’m going to redo this blog using WordPress once I’m settled in Denver and have regular childcare. My favorite thinker in the web design space is Rachel Cunliffe of cre8d design. She recently wrote two articles that I’d like to come back to as inspiration for my next blog design: Blog layouts boring? and On blog layouts and tags as filters. I love the spring colors on her blog—it cheers me up every time I browse there. Blog layout and design will not go away just because feeds are available. Sometimes I’m reading articles in my feed reader and I forget who the author is for a second. It’s disconcerting. The BlogHer web feeds don’t even say who the author of each post is! Though I do most of my feed reading through a news reader, I’ll never give up reading my favorite blogs and memetrackers like Memeorandum on the sites directly. By the way, nice new design, Gabe.

But if we all use the theme witout any customisation, the problem remains. Perhaps Squible is more directed to people like me who dont want to look like the others in the block.
