New Design: The 2005 Saul Bass Edition

I did yet another redesign of the website over the weekend. It wasn’t necessary, but I had a couple of hours with nothing to do, and I didn’t like the previous iteration.

The new design’s narrow page layout, header image, borders, and background patterns are a nod to web design from 2005 when the internet was still fun. The colour scheme is inspired by the movie posters Saul Bass designed in the 1960s and 1970s.

On top of the new design, there are a couple of additions:

• JSON Feeds for all posts and tags.
• A subscribe page offering ways to follow updates to the blog via JSON and RSS feeds.
• An archive page that lists the most popular tags. I’ll add monthly archives and a search in the coming weeks.
