It's time...for a redesign
I’ve had this ugly, default theme for far too long; unfortunately, laziness has gotten the better of me over the past year when it came to redesigning this blog. But, this past weekend, I decided to bite the bullet and do what I’ve been avoiding for a while. So, I’ve redesigned (to be more accurate, I’ve really just “un-designed”) my blog.
It’s a work in progress, but a few hours Saturday afternoon proved to be rather productive. I’m using Cufón for text replacement, and have been really happy with how easy it’s been to set up. That being said, I am seeing a few strange things happening with it. If you’ll notice, some article headlines have strange word-spacing. Letter-spacing within words seems to be just fine, but the space between words occasionally gets devoured. From what I’ve seen, it may be an issue with the font I’m using (Fontin Sans SC), because the issue does not seem to affect the site title which is Calgary Script. Still looking for a solution though.
Anyway, like I said, the redesign still needs quite a bit of polish. Some things, like the footer, are just plain ugly, and I’ll be working on those as time permits.
