Recent blog designs and redesigns

May 7, 2006

I’ve been a little quiet on the blogging front here lately - been hard at work on a number of blog redesigns for people including:

  • Redesigning Idolblog - site based on Drupal. The redesign isn’t finished but has been introduced in stages so that the members can get used to the changes. The home page has been completely reorganised (inspired by NYTimes, CNN.com redesigns) and reduce unnecessary clutter. We have followed a growing trend of making web pages wider to suit people with screen resolutions of 1024 x 768 and up, rather than for 800 x 600 and up.
  • PsychSplash - a blog which is devoted to bringing psychologists the latest in practical and useful websites and technologies. Working with Gareth and the team was an absolute pleasure.
  • Underlying theme for Affiliate Blog - money making blog - which Matt has done a lot of hard work on customising this and adding extra content.

  6. Hi Rachel,

    I like the PscychSplash one, especially what you did with the very bottom of the page. It’s a great use of the space!
