I really like your design, man. You shouldn't change it yet, unless you are bored :)

I'd be interesting to see some articles from you. I won't say I can't wait, but yeah, it would be really nice.

Good luck - Its not easy designing for yourself! I agree with Mark, don't change it unless you really want to. I really like the current design.

What sort of change are you intending to make editorially?

Are you going to use the same tricks you used at CSSZG? :-)

I was planning to redesign myself, but I can't find any time for it :-(

I've decided to not alter the look and feel. However I will not be using bold type for plain text for example. My blog entries are getting longer and longer and bold type is not very easy to read. So it has to go.

Editorially speaking the weblog section has been restricted to the subject web design and how it can be implemented. It was only to reflect area's that I myself could possibly cover myself. One reason for this is that the site is also used as a shopwindow for clients and potential clients. By separating the Portfolio / Resume section and the weblog they would both get room to grow and expand. My portfolio could have a services page and a contact / route page for example.

The weblog can then offer more diverse topics and can be more personal in nature, even a rant here and there. So besides design in general I would also cover things like computers (I will still keep writing for Applematters btw.), trends and why brown is the new black on the Internet these days. etc. etc.

I've also started writing an article on designing webtemplates and how usability doesn't need to kill your visual design work. The techniques that can help you and the ones that get in the way. Like using Photoshop to help you build your stylesheets instead of marking up your webpages.

Honestly, that sounds great.
