Update Gratification

Do you find that if you are contemplating a site redesign, you don’t do much with your site?

I had been wanting to do a little something to reorganize some of the information on this blog.  Sort of rework it so the look would be the same or similar as it was before, but that more than one post would show up at a time, and reworking the sidebars a bit, especially in the single post view.  (As you can see, that redesign is mostly implemented, minus a few additions I’ll have to make at a later date.)

And while seriously contemplating this update, all other journal updates essentially stopped.  I would think of something to write, and think: Aw, that won’t look quite the way I’d like it to until I work on the site redesign, and I don’t have time for that right now.  Which is funny, since the redesign is (and was intended to be) so very similar to the old design that it almost doesn’t make sense (though it does, and it pleases me to have it done).

So, now, after a great deal of css frustration (it’s so simple what I want this should so work why doesn’t it work arghhh let’s go find a theme where it works and see what they did) here’s that bit of update gratification I’ve been looking forward to.  Whee!
