New Look for the Blog…

I’m not sure what it is about fall, but f

or some reason I always get an itch to re-design things about now. Thus,  in addition to upgrading to  dasBlog 1.9, I’ve also re-cooked my look and feel. Although I have not been doing mych web work lately, for some reason my CSS seems to have stuck better than most other things. Besides the time fiddling in photoshop to come up with the look, it only took a few hours to whip up the skin.

Changes:
- More “web 2.0″ overall (minus ajax)
- bigger fonts
- change style sheets (Settings section)
- tag cloud
- Nicer comment entry box
- styled comments (you can actually tell who wrote them now!)

Still to come:
- re-skin my actual ASP.NET 2.0 site and add more content (playing with OpenLayers + .NET)
- Contact page with IM and Email info
- addition of LightBox into blog for viewing large images

For those who read this via  an aggregator, here’s a peek…

and a “tag cloud” – how did I ever blog without one?

I promise to post more ArcObjects goodness shortly – I’m playing doing some enterprise research & design work with ArcGIS 9.2 these days (particularly looking at SDE direct connect + windows authentication),  and we all know that ESRI will cut out my tongue should I talk about anything prior to release.
