Infernal Monologue

Some site design stuff

So Will and Peter have both mentioned that the side graphic got in the way of my entry text. I had noticed this when I set up the site, but I wanted to swap out the text banner with a graphical one that looked cool. I have now done that, at least insofar as my banner is now graphical. As for cool, well, I like it. More site stuff (and ragging on Will) after the jump.

The font is titled "Damn Noisy Kids" and it's at www.1001freefonts.com, which is where I go whenever I need some good fontage. The fonts are listed alphabetically by name, which is not that useful when one is looking for a particular kind of font. But there are lots of fonts there, with varying degrees of name profanity, as you can see.

This is about how I want the blog to look for now, while I come up with an even better design, which I intend to do eventually. All of the graphic design work you see here was pretty simple stuff, and I know if I ponder enough I'll have a few better ideas for how to snazz this puppy up.

Savvy patrons of the various prwdot.org blogs may notice a similarity in this design to the one at Will's blog, and this is deliberate. Mostly it's because Will's blog sports one of the coolest designs I've seen (and I've seen a lot of blogs), and because Will is in Japan right now and therefore can't do anything about it.

UPDATE: I haven't tried it, but I bet if you Alt-Tab between my blog and Will's really quickly, it'll look like Will's head asplodes... Just a fringe benefit of my 1337 dEs1gN SKI11Z....
