Time to Move

I think it’s time to do move this site to its own domain. I talked about this before when I held the domain name contest, but it has finally got to the point where having Whitespace on the sub-domain really bothers me. Also the name simply implies that this is still solely a design site, […]

Whitespace++

Design for the needs of your website. That’s the thought that continued to run through my mind last week as I became more and more frustrated with the Information Design of this site. I loved the previous design, which was a collaboration between myself and Rundle, but unfortunately I wanted to take this site into […]

As I told Mark in the comments of that entry, I have thought about this more times than not, […]

Whitespace: A Work in Progress

Redesigns are a funny thing over here at Whitespace. If you have been here for a number of months/years then you know redesigns are nothing special, the only thing that really changes is the layout as I do my experimenting. This is the case with this most recent redesign effort.

The Monday Rip

One complaint or suggestion if you will, is the lack of effort I believe you put into the top navigation bar or the choice you made, of course. The black a:hover on a dark red background is really not pleasant to the human eye. The font also, is not a success. Certainly, you can come […]

Revisiting Old Content

Since I can’t move the old stuff into the new database I am going to republish some of my old articles, which unfortunately means a loss of comments for these entries. However, I do get to offer a fresh perspective on the articles so they will be even better than before.
Please understand that I love […]
