bestkungfu weblog

It’s been a little over a year since I launched the last redesign of this blog, Dragon (codename Magnum). July 25, 2004, to be precise. So I’ve been looking for the time to work on the redesign, and in between hunting for business-forming documents that don’t exist online and other startup chores, I managed to find it.

This is Swoopy. Its principal goals were:

• Push more of the main content toward the top
• Restore my logo (known as bestkungfu guy) and signature color (red) to places of prominence
• Clean up the code
• Add non-squarish design elements
• Prove I can get away with pink as a design element

It’s not done, of course. It never is. I still have a few things to add, and a few templates to mix back in. But I like it so far. The way the lines appear visually will fall differently depending on how wide your display is, and that’s by design. In fact, I think that’s my favorite part. It’s a wild card.

If you see something weird, drop me a line and assume that either it’s not implemented yet, or I’m stupid. Fixing the archive links is already on the agenda.
