New Hotness (and Tasklist)
Say hello to my new style. It's been a long and very enjoyable several days working on it. Previous to this week, I really had very little contiguous time to throw at it, but as of Monday that changed. You might think that rolling out of bed, walking into the office, and sitting down to work sans-breakfast might be viewed as some sort of deadline induced torture. Far from it. I've had a positively exhilarating time.
Being the anal retentive perfectionist sort, I've been fighting myself the whole time not to get distracted with minutia; just focus on getting a beta product out there, and fix it in place. I'm quite happy with the overall theme. I was aiming for an homage to the print media, accented w/ the typical reds, but hilighted in conservative use of greens. I wanted a very open feel with plenty of white space and clean, intelligent typography. I may be new at this, but I'm pretty happy with this little offering. And now, time to go climbing.I wanted a very open feel with plenty of white space and clean, intelligent typography.

Might I suggest a darker font for the comments? It is hard as hell to read. I like the color, but it should just be a bit darker to increase the contrast.

Oh, another thing -- you should link the big DP logo to the main blog page. Otherwise you can't return after posting ... or I couldn't find it.
Now that you have your own style, share the love ;)

Darker color and dp link done and done.
Thx for the feedback.

Ok, so maybe this wasn't such a great place for a task list.
I just hopped on the Backpack bandwagon. Very nice interface! I'm especially fond of the ajax implementation. Hopefully I'll be more successful using it than other failed methods.
...should this have been a post?
