Tales of a Redesign [Part 1]

Everything was going great until Dan Cederholm ruined my redesign. At least that was the thought going through my mind last November, as I compared the newly styled Simplebits in my left hand monitor, to a remarkably similar photoshop file which housed a mockup of a new Crashpod design that I had just settled on the night before. I was finally done, ready to start translating this new layout into its final HTML markup.

Sadly, this was not to be.

Another year, another redesign

crashpod IA

Welcome friends, to the fifth iteration of Crashpod! Today the ‘pod gets a well deserved face lift, which comes in the form of both fun improvements and fond farewells. Also a fair dose of green! This rebirth is several months in the making, and serves up a hearty dose of refinements to Crashpod’s subject matter, and the way in which the site is organized. I plan to publish more thoughts on the web development industry going forward, as I’ve been a developer for several years now, and feel that offering commentary on your industry is one of the best ways to solidify one’s own opinions.

Credit Where Credit Is Due

The new Wordpress 2.0 logo

I probably don’t say it enough around here, but I really adore the Wordpress publishing platform. Not only has it provided an exceptional sandbox in which I can practice my craft, but it’s created a hospitable environment that’s encouraged me to endlessly refine my writing skills. So I was really happy to see that Wordpress was recently awarded a slot in the top 100 products of 2007 by Webware, a service that tracks what they call “cool web apps for everyone.”

It’s a reward well due, my shoutout to Matt and the crew for their achievement!
