A subtle redesign.
As I’ve mentioned several times before, pretty much everything I do is perpetual beta. What that means in practice is that I’m always looking to make things better – including this blog!
The three subtle changes I’ve made are:
- Menu text replaced with icons (it was a bit text-heavy)
- Slide-down posts replaced with links to permalinks (to speed-up page loading and encourage commenting)
- Addition of WordPress icon and sparkline (mini-graph) to footer* (looks cool!)
You can see a quick before and after below.

Update: I’ve added ‘tooltips’ (using this) at the request of some who found the icons needed explaining. Thanks for the feedback! 😀
