It’s rather sad that, as someone who is a web designer by trade, that I can’t even find enough time to redesign my own anime blog. However, I’ve kept the current design for a time period which has to be approaching an all time record for just about any site which I have personally maintained that isn’t a wiki.
Now, a lot of this is time, and a lot of it is that I just can’t come up with a design that I like and that works.
However, tonight, I had a crazy idea, though I’m not sure I’ll go through with it. Maybe the indignity of threatening to go through with it will be enough to motivate me to redesign the site myself lol. However, that idea is this: hold a contest for a new blog design, with the selectee getting, say, Amazon cash. Like $50 of it or something (the amount is changeable, but if I did it, I’d probably do at least $50).
I wonder how much attention that would get, and how many responses I would get for that.
Like I said, this isn’t a commitment to run such a contest, but just throwing the idea out there.
Update: It looks like based on today so far, the answer is “the indignity of threatening to go through with it will be enough to motivate me to redesign the site myself.”
New Layouts Available!
I finally got motivated today to do some new designs, and either my standards went way down today or I got really lucky cause I ended up pulling together quite a few that I was reasonably happy with today.
The default new design right now is for CLANNAD, though you can change your theme or choose to have it randomized whenever you load a page at the Choose Your Theme page.
Overall, there are 14 new themes on top of the Haibane Renmei one from before:
I’ll try to expand this list, but sometimes good images that I can use for my header are hard to come by for certain series.
