No longer green, no longer spring. If this new look strkes you as a bit chilly and blue, that’s because it’s designed to provide a little relief from the sweltering Mississippi heat (and from the eyesore that was my last design).
To be perfectly honest with you (aren’t I always?), this design isn’t even mine: it’s a drop-in, automatic, prefab design from a British chap named Neal. I’ve never met Neal, but I like his respect for text (black text on a crisp white background, as God intended) and his clever implementation of graphics-free navigation buttons within Moveable Type templates. Bravo, Neal!
Neal gives this design (and others) away free at his website. It’s the perfect solution for tired old folks like me who want something pleasing to the eye, but who lack the time and inclination to do something about it ourselves.
Apologies for that last horrid template, by the way. Huge graphics, a clunky header, spring colors, front page text that actually came out center-justified on Internet Explorer … what was I thinking?
I was rushed. I was weak. I was distracted.
It won’t happen again.
Still no word from MidPhase with regard to my account, and whether or not my use of Movable Type defies their terms of service. If I’m quiet, do you think they’ll forget about me?
