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.”
