In the interests of making this site a little more interesting to look at, I’m trying to teach myself some web-design stuff. This means there’s a strong likelihood that the blog’s going to get overhauled in the next week or so. It’s really two processes in one: learning technical aspects of design and developing the aesthetic (the look-and-feel) of the site at the same time.
In a sense, they feed off each other. If I get an idea for what VM (and Mad Mix) should look like, I have to go off and learn how to implement it online. So that’s taking up some of my time that I should be devoting to writing. Fortunately, we hired a really good webmaster at my office, and he’s been able to give me some good leads for tutorials and far more advanced stuff.
Meanwhile, I put up a new “cover” page to the site, at www.chimeraobscura.com. Enjoy.
