Site Redesign
Last night I got fed up with having the world’s cruddiest website, so I searched around for something better. Lacking anything even approaching graphic design skills, I found the nicest looking free site template I could, and used that as a base for the site. Like many programmers, I’m happy with source code, but can’t draw worth a damn.
In any case, you’ve no doubt noticed the completely new uniform theme on the site, with the new seamless blog integration. I’m a terrible web-developer, but I think the new design is much more accessible and less, well, ugly. Don’t worry, the page and download URLs should remain the same between versions for my projects.
Like the new site? Hate it? Suggestions on things to add, remove or alter? Post here, so I can work out what changes still need to be made to make FourWalledCubicle better than ever.
EDIT: Thanks to Ian Banks for the new totally awesome site logo!
Don’t like the noisy background. Plain color would look nicer. Otherwise fine.
Looks nice. Also, mine’s far cruddier. ;P
I totally had you beat on the world’s cruddiest website. Like the new look, but I’d ditch the grayish text on the grayish background, a bit hard to read due to lack of contrast.
Which gray text exactly, Joshua?

It is really chaotic and unstructured. I’d choose the old theme, if I were you. The new design will make me definitely visit your site less frequently 🙁
Is it that much harder to navigate? I’m thinking of adding drop-downs to the menu bar categories, so that people can navigate to specific projects a little easier.
