		<description><![CDATA[<p>Newer.  Better.  Bigger.  Morer.  Leon Paternoster has been rebuilt and given a facelift: it's time for a site redesign.</p>]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As it&#8217;s been a whole 3 months or so since the last redesign, I thought it was high time to spend hours communing with the laptop and toiling over PHP functions. I have redesigned the blog.</p>
<h3>Features:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Integration of Gravatars and bookmarks. I&#8217;ve kind of resisted them before — I&#8217;m not exactly sure why — but they add a bit of warmth to the design.</li>
<li>Readability. I&#8217;ve kept a 100% font size (most likely 16 pixels) for body copy, and the traditional blue link colour. Measure and leading are all spick and span. I&#8217;ve got over justifying paragraphs.</li>
<li>A logo. Of sorts. I&#8217;m not very graphical, so I thought I&#8217;d have a go at a creating a logo out of plain HTML and CSS. Not quite <a href="http://jontangerine.com/log/2007/11/complex-type-css-fix-cleartype-miss">Jon Tan level wizardry</a>, but I&#8217;m pretty happy with it. And it adds colour.</li>
<li>A grid. This one&#8217;s based on ems: three 17em columns with 3em margins. I&#8217;ve <a href="http://leonpaternoster.com/2008/05/why-use-grids/">written somewhat immodestly about grids</a> in the past, and I still think the reliance on <em>complex</em> grids as an answer to poorly structured content is a bad thing, but I may revisit this subject.</li>
<li>Twitter and Delicious. Not sure about this.</li>
</ul>
<p>This theme was created over a period of about a week, in the company of my two children. The templates were built in 10 minute bursts, sandwiched by feeding, changing and reading. It&#8217;s an odd way to work, but actually quite enjoyable.</p>
<p>As ever, your comments are more than welcome.</p>
