/// This Site is Not Broken

In addition to all i’ve mentioned about the structure of this site, I want visitors to know that the site’s design is not broken. At least not unintentionally so.

The differently sized chunks combined with your monitor resolution and the number of posts will produce a slightly random effect, hopefully leading to something visually interesting. Filtering the site using the links at the top will regroup the chunks into more irregular arrangements.

I could fix all the box heights, which would emphasize the grid, but what fun would that be? Feel free to leave comments. Even if they’re stupid.

/// New Layout & Structure

This is my attempt at making this thing more content based and easier to update.

The layout is based on the idea that equally sized content blocks will be allowed to stack endlessly onto one large page. Each post or block will be sorted chronologically, but will not be grouped or separated from others based on it’s purpose or theme. Also the site expands and contracts to almost any resolution. I’ve yet to test it on anything wider than 1700px, but it should fill whatever horizontal space it’s given. Personally I think it looks great resized down to one column.

I’m still working out some bugs and style issues and of course it looks empty right now. I’ll try to spend some more time on it soon.
