I’m not a designer.  So when I have the opportunity to brag about something I designed, I try to take advantage.

One of my goals scheduled for before the birth of my first child (three days and counting!) was to get my blog design set.  I wanted to have something that was aesthetically appealing (to my personal aesthetics, anyway), and very functional.  Something I could pour my mind into reliably, if somewhat infrequently.

So today I give you the latest version of my blog.  The design borrows heavily from a personal project I’m working on (can’t tell you any more about it just yet, but it’s for project management). I like the soft corners, and Twitter colors: it feels homey to me – I’ve always thought blue was very comforting.

I’m using a custom WordPress plug-ins for Twitter/Bit.ly and Facebook comments – the latter being something that I open-sourced not long ago, but then withdrew (because it had a major flaw, and because I wanted to mix it into a more comprehensive tool – I’ll be releasing it again soon!).  I’ll be adding some more feature soon, mostly in an effort to turn some profit from my traffic (if I ever manage to develop any).

So, what do you think?
