 well i finally think my redesign is good enough for the public eye there are definitely some tweaks that i need to make but its good enough for now i plan on tweaking stuff for the rest of the week and doing some clean up on some of the older articles this goal of this design was to adhere to a very strict grid and i used the 16 column 960 grid view grid click on the grid to remove it i also wanted to have a stronger focus on some of the things that i can do with jquery check out the accordion and recent work in the sidebar and the comments on the blog articles well that is enough for now im sure i will have more to talk about later but i have to run please give me your feedback i by no means call myself a designer which is why i tried to go simplistic
