Yep, things have been quiet around here… because I’ve been a little busy bee working on a redesign of my blog. It will include a bunch of new features, a fresh design direction and improved usability.
It seems every time I started a new design, life got in the way and I was never able to finish. After too much time had passed, I would lose my train of thought and start all over on a new design.
Here are a few designs that I did over a year ago that DID NOT make the final cut. As you can see, they are all only half way done. I tend to start off in black and white and add color as I go. These are merely wire-comps if you will…
Let’s just say that looking back I’m glad none of these directions made the cut, as now they seem a bit archaic with newer technology available — or maybe I just got wiser. :) Anyhow, I’m excited about the direction I ended up going in.
Stay tuned for the new site!!!

Version 3 definitely looks like to be the one so keep up the good work! :) When is the new website going to be online?

Thanks for the feedback all! I liked the last one the best too but the direction I’m going is quite different that all three and will be quite innovative!
I’m definitely hoping that it will inspire more quality posts.

I like the first one, it is simple though a bit older look. when some one come to a blog he would look good content on his subject, design has little impact than a new website.
