My goal was for it to be simple and text-centric. I wanted lots of info, but I didn’t want it to be cluttered (like my previous iteration). I also wanted you to be able to go to my site, take one glance, and read the entirety of my latest post–there’s no need for excerpts or anything here, especially with low amount of readers I (generally) have. Of course, here’s hoping that number grows a bit!

You’ll notice the colors are simple and bright, the footer is niiiice and big (and there’s even a link to it at the top–“More Stuff”), and the about me is full and detailed. I’ve also posted links to my social media profiles on my “About Me” page, and you can see links to my Twitter and Flickr in the footer.

In the near future, I hope to spice up my header a bit with a new revamped personal logo. You may remember my logo from my previous blog, designed last summer. It’s on the right, if you need a refresher. I’m kind of sick of that one, and I want something a little simpler and a little more basic, still typographically focused, but focusing just on the fundamentals of my name “Alex Priest”, no initials, etc. I’m still brainstorming, but if you have any suggestions please let me know in the comments!
