Black on white
N.B. – a lot has changed since this post was originally published. This site has been redesigned and now uses TextPattern for content management.
Things are beginning to shape up. The index template + style sheet actually create more-or-less what I am expecting. I am again drawn to the idea of all black type with few embellishments or extraneous color. How many web pages today look like that? It does provide a clean canvas onto which photos and other graphics can really shine.
And I call myself a “designer”?
