Finally. After a week of thinking and planning, followed by three days of constant code-select all-copy-paste-preview coding, I’ve arrived to a design that I am more or less satisfied with. I’m really excited about this project and I really want it to go somewhere, although I think part of my excitement came from the fact that I found out that Blogger lets you blog with their service but use your domain name as the address, for free! And it lets you take out that annoying Navigation bar at the top of the page. I’m still crediting Blogger on the site, so it’s not like I’m totally ignoring them.
Anywho, in the next few posts, I will have a series of introductory entries talking about the blog and my background. But just real quick, I want to say that this blog is basically a dumping ground for any design-related ideas or thoughts that pop up in my head. I’m “dumping” them here so I won’t have the assumption that that “really good idea” in my head is going to come out just as good. Sometimes I might have something that actually is good, and in which case, I can look at it from a distance (away from my head) and see what I can do with it. I will try to have mostly thoughtful entries and hopefully start a conversation going. In the mean time, enjoy the del.icio.us sidebar, and subscribe to the blog!
Flush.

the white background is good, but i would like to see it with some sort of pattern or another color. How about your other blog (IWIL Blog Design)?
oh, and why “Flush”?
I’ve retired IWIL Blog on Design for many reasons, some including that it represented my “Davis”-ness, not to mention that it was under my old account, which won’t let me change the username from my geckomail address. I basically wanted to start new and have a more professional and official blog.
And I will explain “Flush” (or will I?) in one of the introductory posts.
[...] months ago, I “soft opened” this blog. And if you can look at it at a specific and narrow way, the blog still hasn’t [...]
