This has been a loooooong time coming, but I’ve finally updated the design of this site. I initially forked the design of another site, but wanted something simpler and more clean. I borrowed heavily ( stole) from Zach Holman. A few thoughts while going through this process:

  • There aren't any photos on this site, so I'd like to update the current design with more photos. I don't want to completely rip off Zach's site, but I do like how he uses the hero images in each post. I started with a very similar look, but just didn't feel good lifting his design.
  • I also feel the css is pretty ugly. It's a mess of Bootstrap 4, the default minima theme from Jekyll and my additions. I feel there is a lot of opportunity to simplify the css and use more of the Bootstrap defaults.
  • While I've felt this since the end of 2016, I'm planning on writing more frequently about work and other topics. Everyone says the same, why is this different now? I'm not sure other than I tend to have a lot of ideas pop into my head during the week and think I should write on that.

I hope to use this site to experiment with its design as I continue to develop more design skills. If there’s a topic you are interested, drop me an email and let me know mbjornson at icloud dotcom.
