My great friend and colleague Marc Mendell built me a new design last June, and I loved it. But soon after, my site started to get slow. I was having problems with my hosting service too.
Plus, older stories were getting broken because the content was too wide.
I needed a more extensible design. I asked Marc for something simpler, and this is what he came up with.
I am always studying the codes that make up the Internet; from dynamic scripting languages to liveblogging. I told Marc I wanted something with a “blueprint” feel, because I am not really a designer yet, but I am in the course of learning.
I am really excited about it 
It’s not 100% ready right now (i.e. I haven’t looked at how comments are formatted yet), but it’s basically there.
I have been constantly testing myself with building out new designs fast. It’s kinda like a test for my job, where I slice Photoshop documents all the time.
How do you like it?
