Dear God, I Hate This Website
Dear Internet:
I love the fact that you love this website. I love the fact that when people meet me, the first thing they say is “Oh, I love your website! It’s so beautiful!” It’s lovely to be known for a beautiful thing.
Unfortunately, I fucking hate it.
I cannot stand to look at it. I hate it so much, I cannot stand to blog on it, which more or less explains the extended radio silence. I’ve hated it since about ten minutes after I won the Most Beautiful Blog award in 2008. I’ve been meaning to change it ever since, but I’ve been rather busy making websites and falling off trains.
I’ve been waiting for a good time to sit down and issue forth a redesign, but lately I’ve realised that there is no good time – I’m always busy making websites and falling off trains. So that’s it – I’m committing to a new website design and I am not returning until I have one.
I have no idea if you’ll like it, or if I’ll like it for that matter. I have no idea what it will look like, but I do know this:
It will have social networking icons that actually function instead of just looking pretty. It will actually achieve the accessibility I keep banging on about. It will sensibly hold and present the content it needs to contain.
And by God, it will have a search box.
Love,
Sabrina

Bon chance!
Been meaning to do something other than use a default WP framework theme with some colour applied for ages myself but of course everything else takes priority over your own back garden.
Looking forward to seeing the results :)

- builders houses, never finished

- (and my favourite) closer to the church, further from god.
I know what you mean. I still like mine but it has been out there a LONG time, plus @simplebits said something nice about it and I am not sure anyone will do the same when I redesign… alas, I am working on one right now.
12.07.2010, 2:11 pmI know what you mean!! I while ago I fixed mine to the best of my ability, but I would love a magical fairy to fix all the major problems with mine…ah well I’ll save up a few pennies and pay a fairy one of these days.
