Thanks to x5315 I have a new theme. I know things are looking a bit simple and rough around the edges, but most (if not all) of the simplicity is intentional, and the rough edges will be ironed out soon enough.

It’s called ‘whiteboard’ (because that’s what it was sketched out on – a whiteboard in x5315’s room, plus it looks a bit like one), and is intended to be very simple, with clear definitions between tumble posts and main posts. At the moment that definition isn’t fully formed, but bear with us! There’s a few bugs and things to iron out to, we’re working on them too.

I’ve adjusted the header for the blog today – made it a lot more compact. Overall the blog now feels very compact – which is the intention; I wanted there to be a very small amount of space before you hit actual content. It will no doubt cause a 100% bounce rate, but as it’s a tumblelog I’m not too bothered by that. The only problem is now I have no ‘About’ page, and I’d like there to be a link to one (or at least some information about me) somewhere. I’m thinking of adding a hand-drawn style arrow from the ‘jalada’ in ‘tumble*jalada’ from the word ‘who?’ also in a hand-written style, and placed off to the edge of the blog. Clicking it would cause some sort of AJAX popup or something. The only problem is making it obvious the ‘Who?’ is a link.

I just want to aim for a very minimal feel, and ideally want to keep the blog to just one ‘page’ right now.

Suggestions?
