B&C take 4

December 20th, 2009 by ben

benandcad09 Another day, another redesign. There’s more behind this one than just a face lift. I’ve found that our posting at B&C has become a bit less regular. Meanwhile our blog All Day I’ve Been Thinking has been growing slowly and activity at Twitter, delicious, Facebook, and elsewhere has taken off. With that in mind we’ve put together a new layout based on Graph Paper Press’ “Visualization” theme. It highlights only the latest, while displaying some of our online life through WordPress’ “Lifestream” plugin. The hope is that this’ll keep B&C from becoming stale, as I felt it had been over the past few months. Being me I have a few more design tweaks to make, but we’re close to having something final here. I couldn’t wait to get this live though, so here you go. Hope you like it!

Back, and better

Blog Update #3

Finally. Our site has been badly in need of a facelift for a while now. We’ve been busy, as everyone is, with life-in-general. I could never quite bring myself around to devoting the necessary time. It’s been a weight, to the point where I debated shutting the blog down entirely. A different personal project*, however, helped me find the energy. So I did it…upgraded our version of WordPress, found a theme that managed content in the way I wanted, caught all our outdated posts up-to-date, and couldn’t be more happy.

*more on this soon.

Down, but not out…

You’ve probably noticed, we’ve sucked at posting lately. There’s a reason for this. Over the next few weeks our site will be undergoing a long overdue upgrade, overhaul, and redesign. During this time our site will be effectively down. Apologies for this, but it’s a good thing. The need for catching the site up to date and redoing the look has been weighing on me for a while. It’ll be a great relief to get this taken care of and move forward with a (hopefully) good looking and slightly more focused site!

Bright and Shiny
